My Bloody Valentine, "Loveless"
My Bloody Valentine's groundbreaking "Loveless" remains one of alternative music's most influential albums. In this episode, we discuss MBV's pioneering of the shoegaze genre and its defining production characteristics, the interesting/amazing effects this album has had on my mind, the idea of 'horror vacui' as it pertains to music, and why it took 22 years for the band to follow up "Loveless." Also, stereo v. mono recording, pink noise, and how the Valentines used sleep deprivation to their advantage.
