#73 My Bloody Valentine, 'Loveless' (1991)

Perfect timing as My Bloody Valentine only just made their music available on streaming a few weeks ago. Their second album was a landmark in the Shoegaze genre with guitarist-producer, Kevin Shields redefining the sound of recorded guitar. The band would spend 2 and a half years recording this in a total of nineteen different studios and cost upwards of £250,000 to produce. Creation Records label boss, Alan McGee found Shields too difficult to work with and subsequently dropped the band from the label following the release of ‘Loveless.’ In fact the high production costs drove the label into bankruptcy.
