My Bloody Valentine to release new album next month!

karaokeman · 31-12-2012 4:23pm

Can't see this album coming out, Kevin has been hinting at it for so long, said it would be out by the end of the year, tomorrow is 2013 and there's still nothing. Perfectionism is one thing but the longer this is put off the more fans will expect, and as rcaz said it would need to be the best album of all time at this point.

Ash.J.Williams · 31-12-2012 4:25pm

it's mastered...therefore it's technically ready

AhrSkidar · 26-01-2013 12:44am

An article in today's Athlone Advertiser, primarily about Paolo Nutini, mentioned in passing that MBV completed the album in the Grouse Lodge studios here in Westmeath. The studio's Twitter feed confirms Kevin Shields was indeed there: https://twitter.com/grouselodge

Will believe it when I see/hear it.

Wtf haha! That's crazy ! You'd think the whole article would be about MBV. This will probably be picked up by p4k etc. soon.

jefreywithonef · 26-01-2013 6:22pm

It's been more or less reported before. I read that Shields really needs the money.

Eileen Down · 27-01-2013 9:10pm

So their just about to go on stage for a warm up gig in Brixton and the set list is:

I only said
when you sleep
you never should
honey power
cigarette in your bed
come in alone
only shallow
thorn
nothing much to lose
sometimes
to here knows when
slow
soon
feed me with your kiss
you made me realise

Eileen Down · 27-01-2013 10:37pm

They opened the show tonight with a new song and some talk of the new album being released in a couple of days.

Eileen Down · 27-01-2013 10:44pm

The second tune is a new too!

Stompbox · 27-01-2013 11:22pm

Are you at the show, Eileen?

Eileen Down · 27-01-2013 11:36pm

No, I wish was. I've been glued to a couple of sites for the last few of hours. The poor refesh button must be feeling really sore right now.
I can't wait to hear the bootleg tomorrow.

Eileen Down · 28-01-2013 8:53am

So this is the new song by My Bloody Valentine.

Sounds interesting, can't wait to hear the album version in a couple of days time.

Endless Nameless · 30-01-2013 3:35am

I was told that MBV were gonna play in the o2 in Dublin soon, and tried googling and came up with nothing

So they're really not playing here?

Leaked song btw

karaokeman · 31-01-2013 6:16pm

They wouldn't fill the O2, Olympia or Vicar Street if anything.

Ash.J.Williams · 31-01-2013 6:46pm

They would

Miguel_Sanchez · 31-01-2013 6:52pm

I'd far prefer to have my ears blown off me in the Olympia than the O2.

Rothko · 31-01-2013 7:31pm

Maybe not the O2 would I think they would definitely fill the Olympia or Vicar Street.

Nice to see shoegazing anticipated so keenly

Love the track - Hope the album production keeps the feel of this live version.

dinneenp · 01-02-2013 12:41pm

someone tweeted
At My Bloody Valentine in Brixton. Kevin Shields said from the stage the new album 'might be out in two our three days'”hurrah!

I've had my ears blown off me a few times in the olympia and it wasn't worth it, just crackling... and I think i'd rather MBV had the space of the o2 to get the full rig set up right.

You can't go to an MBV gig without earplugs anyway (or at least you shouldn't). I saw them in the Apollo in Manchester (roughly the same size as the Olympia) a few years back and their set up was great so I don't think being in the O2 would be too much of a benefit.

Miguel_Sanchez · 01-02-2013 5:31pm

Review of the Brixton gig here.

Seems to have been a lot of sound issues.

Ash.J.Williams · 01-02-2013 6:07pm

ah well that's what warm ups are for!! Let's hope they've ironed it all out

Morrison J · 02-02-2013 10:40pm

'We are preparing to go live with the new album/website this evening. We will make an announcement as soon as its up.'

Wow. Exciting stuff :eek:

jd · 02-02-2013 10:46pm

Looks like album is called
403 - Forbidden

Yeah I think their website has just crashed

Kerrigooney · 02-02-2013 11:08pm

I swear to **** I am like a child waiting for Santa to come.

Morrison J · 02-02-2013 11:13pm

Im guessing this is the artwork

Ash.J.Williams · 02-02-2013 11:36pm

Is there a link?

Ash.J.Williams · 02-02-2013 11:40pm

I googled to see was there any news....hilarious results! The age of leaks and torrents and mbv have the whole internet in suspense!

Legends.....New site online this evening....find it yourselves

RikkFlair · 03-02-2013 12:28am

I'd love to say I've been waiting for 22 years but in 1991 I was 13 and listening to sh1t music :pac:

I have been waiting for 22 years and in 1991 I was 18 and listening to great music. 1991 was an unreal year for albums.

EDIT: But it's gonna have to wait till tomorrow cos I'm too old for staying up this late:D

Midlife Crashes · 03-02-2013 12:44am

Hope this doesn't fall in to the Guns N' Roses trap that even though it may be amazing, but cause people have their expectations insanely high, it's regarded as crap....

Morrison J · 03-02-2013 12:59am

ITS UP!!!

Server Busy. Typical.

http://www.mybloodyvalentine.org/

SilverScreen · 03-02-2013 12:59am

The service is unavailable.
Server is too busy

Way to go guys!

RikkFlair · 03-02-2013 1:05am

Kevin Shields is just a big tease

SilverScreen · 03-02-2013 1:17am

The album has 9 tracks.

I'm too drunk for this ****, maybe tomorrow.

Midlife Crashes · 03-02-2013 1:21am

Apparently 16 bucks for 9 tracks....

Kerrigooney · 03-02-2013 1:41am

Seems it's not coming out till 3 tomorrow now. Ridiculous.

Now I'm definitely going to bed. **** it.

Ash.J.Williams · 03-02-2013 2:38am

Genius move hosting the site on inadequate servers...the crash is fueling the hype

mathproblem · 03-02-2013 3:54am

Would love just to be able to stream a tune or two on youtube or something & just give it a listen. I'll definitely be buying it when the traffic dies down, trying to resist trying to refresh page & adding to the problem.

no even informal reviews around the web yet to see if people reckon it's a change of direction or not & how it stacks against the previous two...

the artwork is in keeping with the previous releases ?stylistically? yet with its own stamp of uniqueness... same only different as me Da used to say:

EDIT: Live stream from here: some college radio station... http://wrpi.org/listen

Lightbulb Sun · 03-02-2013 4:12am

No problems for me with the site at this time.

Shane St. · 03-02-2013 4:28am

mathproblem · 03-02-2013 4:37am

Just the opening track here:, it's sumptuous.. it would almost make you angry to think we havent heard from them for 20 whole years.

Rothko · 03-02-2013 5:08am

Just finished listening to it and it's love at first listen. There definitely are similarities toward Loveless but I can also hear where Kevin talked about the influence of jungle music on it. The production is fantastic too. I was prepared to be disappointed but I'm not.

MrVoracious · 03-02-2013 5:30am

Sounds brilliant can't waiit for the cd to arrive!

Anybody think theres much chance they'll play a gig in ireland this year

eviltimeban · 03-02-2013 11:27am

Sounds good, first three songs anyway. Very "IF you liked Loveless, then you'll enjoy..."

But that's good. That's why we like these bands. :-)

karaokeman · 03-02-2013 11:43am

Just heard the album, expecting disappointment but it blew me away.... just fantastic.

Like Loveless part 2, seems to continue in the same vein but there are slight moments of departure, which is good. Really like the other-worldly feel to it, some moments of Isn't Anything there as well. Loveless is still their best record, but just about really, this one is a close second.

Great flow to some of the tracks, particularly the first four. Have the whole album on my iPod as I plan to absorb it some more so I can fully appreciate it if they make an appearance in Dublin anytime soon.

My Bloody Valentine to release new album next month!
