Über My Bloody Valentine
My Bloody Valentine, formed in Dublin in 1983 around Kevin Shields, perfected the blurred, overwhelming sound that defined shoegaze. Their 1991 album "Loveless" buried pop melodies under sheets of bent, distorted guitar and remains one of the most influential records of its era. The band's perfectionism became legendary, and their long-awaited 2013 return proved their vision had lost none of its power.
