Hmm, I'm torn between elation and caution. Remember how long it took to issue the remastered versions of Loveless and Isn't Anything? Let's wait and see on this one.

yeah but one month surely means it's recorded somewhat at least!

Now that's what I call good news.:)

I don't believe they will be releasing it, if so I'm all over it but this is more ridiculous than Chinese Democracy right now.

Creamy Goodness

won't believe it until it's in my hands.

SilverScreen

I definitely won't believe it until I see it. More than likely this will be pushed back to early next year or something.

Ash.J.Williams

if it's from the horses mouth that it's out next month, then it's recorded and almost ready to ship, he did mention the artwork is pending.

This is Kevin Shields saying it. For Kevin 'next week' means late spring. 2020.

Back in 2007, he said it was about three quarters done. However, I have a feeling we will see it eventually.

That means not recorded, out next month means it must be recorded

DerekDGoldfish

I bet next month he will come out and say its delayed as his dog ate it.

There's a new MBV album been realesed, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of our lives.
Colour me chuffed:D

It'd want to be the best damn record ever made at this rate...

The big question is whether the new album will be similar in style to the previous 2 (layered guitars, dance background, ethereal vocals), which has held up incredibly well for over 20 years, or be a completely new departure. I would suspect the latter. Either way, can't wait to hear it!

I hope there's at least one 90s-inspired reggae rap in there somewhere.

Saw them in Manchester when they started touring again. There were signs up everywhere telling people to wear earplugs (staff were handing them out for free) but still there were eejits everywhere without them.

At the 20 minute sonic apocalypse at the end there were people with their hands over their ears in agony.

Remember kids - always wear earplugs to enjoy My Bloody Valentine live.

Brilliant - I saw them both nights in Manchester. Once downstairs and the following night upstairs. Had my own ear plugs and took them once specifically for 'Soon' - it felt wrong to have them in for that. I thought they were astonishingly good live - O'Cíosóg is a machine. There must be live dates if there's a new record.

Saw them at Electric Picnic 2008, and we only got 15 minutes of the Holocaust... I'll be looking forward to the full shebang next Spring so...

I wonder if the the Kevin Shields tracks on th soundtrack to "Lost in Translation" is any clue to what the new one may sound like.
Classic MBV sound (City Girl- Goodbye) with added 21st century( Are you awake?)
If the new one should have a version of "Are you awake?" that's longer than a minute and a half, I will be fecking delighted.

it's a big maybe for the new album to be very similar in style- it was 21 years ago they last realesed a new album so they've changed as people, music influences, etc.
Having said that if they realease a totallydifferent album then, for me it's not MBV.

I saw them at EP and they blew me away, I loved the white noise.
If I could see any band again it'd be them.

I always say, 3/4 joking, that artists who have created albums of such greatness should get some kind of national award, like a knighthood and financial prize. It'd ensure that Debbie Goody didn't have to work (briefly) as a taxi driver.
I'm not talking about throwing the awards around every year but only when a truely stunning album is released (Loveless, Screamadelica, Nevermind, most Pixies albums etc.)

And quite a few of those records were released in 1991, the most amazing year for music. You could throw Blue Lines in there too.

And lets not forget the near-perfect Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Spiderland and Laughing Stock was released that year too.

The Low End Theory and Bandwagonesque too, 1991 was a good year.

Gigs announced for the UK in March. Surely a homecoming is on the cards?

To buy or not to buy tickets for Glasgow or Manchester - on sale tomorrow at 9am. No guarantee of Irish dates, the contrary bastards. Simply not to be missed live.

No lets forget that. A truly atrocious band.

I'm half tempted to splurge on a ticket for the London show but I don't have any mates who are enough into MBV to bounce with me. [DESPERATION]Anyone fancy a gig buddy?[/DESPERATION]

Yeah, I think they came out last Friday.

They did indeed. Going to see them in Barrowlands. No word of Irish dates and I don't expect there to be either. Shame but it was the same the last around also.

If you can't find a gig buddy just go by yourself. This year I've gone to Lady Gaga, M83, Yeasayer and Florence + the Machine by myself (not many friends and the ones I have all suck! :pac: ) and will most likely be going to MBV alone too. Kinda sucks being by yourself when you see other people together but it's much better than missing out on an awesome gig 'cause you won't go by yourself!

I keep plugging the gigonometry website for exactly cases like this.While I have no problem heading into gig in town on my todd heading international takes alot more courage .Re..MBV funnily enough i never really got into them but if you where to suggest it as an event on the gigonometry might get some interest

Looks like the new album might actually be a reality:D

Manchester anybody?

pastorbarrett

I heard the first song off of this. Last night. It was quite good. Dare I say, Loveless for 2012/13. More of the same (and no bad thing that is!), but with added clarity (a trite word in the context of MBV, I know, but it made sense) and contemporary sort of er, sensibilities about it...

Ok, so it was a dream, but Jaysus, it was a good one. I hope to have many more.

Soundtrack to the end of the world?

1. Praying for a Hope Sandoval guest vocal somewhere
2. Praying for Coachella 2013 to be included in any tour
