While Jesus & Mary Chain invented a sort of pop-surf noise with a retro spin, My Bloody Valentine offered its most avant-garde and experimental side, which eventually led to shoegaze. Along with Colm \u00d3 C\u00edos\u00f3ig on the drums, Deb Googe on bass, and Bilinda Butcher on vocals and the guitar, Kevin Shields made his debut with a sort of rock noise drawing from Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. Signed by Creation Records, Alan McGee\u2019s label that released in 1984 the first single of the Reid brothers (Upside Down), My Bloody Valentine dropped their sonic bases on a first album titled\u00a0Isn\u2019t Anything, released in late 1988. The wall of sound was already pretty strong, but the more dreamlike option only truly appeared in their following two EPs,\u00a0Glider\u00a0(1990) and\u00a0Tremolo\u00a0(1991), and most importantly on their masterpiece:\u00a0Loveless\u00a0(1991). When this album \u2212 that many consider to be one of the most important records of the 90s \u2013 dropped, it was hard not to be stunned by such a guitar-filled cathedral, the vocals buried under tons of saturation and reverb, the apocalyptic rhythmic and the repeating motifs. An American who emigrated from Dublin with his parents at the age of 10, Shields sculpts sound like no one before him. Behind a form of extremism that never lost an ounce of violence over the years,\u00a0Loveless\u00a0is able to touch the listener\u2019s soul and senses. Nothing seems vane nor gratuitous in this piece, that owes as much to Jesus & Mary Chain and the Cocteau Twins than Steve Reich. One may actually wonder if this birth of shoegaze didn\u2019t also signal its death. After all, didn\u2019t they pack everything in this 48-minute masterpiece, leaving no room for their followers? The band itself didn\u2019t survive this (rather critical than popular) triumph, and slowly died off in the years that followed\u2026\u00a9 Marc Zisman\/Qobuz","sku":"0603497980109","releaseDate":"1991-11-01","brand":"@type":"Brand","name":"My Bloody Valentine","offers":"@type":"Offer","url":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/loveless-my-bloody-valentine\/0603497980109","priceCurrency":"USD","price":13.09,"itemCondition":"https:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OnlineOnly","seller":"@type":"Organization","name":"Qobuz"} "@context":"http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/","@type":"MusicAlbum","@id":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/loveless-my-bloody-valentine\/0603497980109","url":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/loveless-my-bloody-valentine\/0603497980109","name":"Loveless","description":"Listen Loveless by My Bloody Valentine on the Qobuz Webplayer","datePublished":"1991-11-01","potentialAction":"@type":"ListenAction","target":["@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/loveless-my-bloody-valentine\/0603497980109?autoplay=true","actionPlatform":["http:\/\/schema.org\/DesktopWebPlatform","http:\/\/schema.org\/IOSPlatform","http:\/\/schema.org\/AndroidPlatform","http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/GoogleAudioCast","http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/GoogleVideoCast"]],"expectsAcceptanceOf":"@type":"Offer","category":"free","eligibleRegion":[] (function(w,d,s,l,i)w[l]=w[l])(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-MTLV8X8');
