My Bloody Valentine - BMV (2013)
The legendary shoegaze innovators have returned after 22 years with an amazing record that sounds like it picked up right where their hit album Loveless left off. To my great joy, the same swirling, beautiful textures and ethereal vocals that first attracted me and other fans to the band are ever present here. There's not much here that's particularly new other than some experimentation with electronica so it's a pretty gradual and almost unnoticeable evolution from Loveless. That's more than ok with though since, as I've stated before, experimentation can sometimes have disastrous results. But however it compares to Loveless or anything else in their brief discography, it's a phenomenal comeback and a gorgeous piece of art from brilliant band.
9.5/10
