My Bloody Valentine were pioneers of shoegaze, releasing two albums before being dropped by their record label and drifting apart some time in the 90s. Therefore, it was a bit of a surprise when founder Kevin Shields started working on unreleased material and put the band back together to release this album more than 20 years after the previous one.
The result is a bit patchy and experimental, but when it takes off it’s really rather catchy, particularly the closing track ‘wonder 2’ which takes shoegaze into experimental drum and bass meets ambient noise territory. Probably not one I’d listen to regularly, but I’d take this over a dull, boring record any day.
