SummersRadio™ New Music! My Bloody Valentine - 'If I Am'/ 'Who Sees You'
Dublin's My Bloody Valentine have just released their new album today! It's taken over 20 years to follow up their landmark 1991 album 'Loveless', but Kevin Shields and the band have finally done it! The album is simply titled 'm b v' and it's first attempted release was last night just prior to midnight on their official website - which promptly crashed.
They then posted each song individually on YouTube so that fans can give the album a listen (each track has been uploaded with fade ins/outs and at a reduced quality of 192kbp to avoid illegal copying) and their new website is now officially up and running.
'm b v' is released in three formats - as a download, as a cd plus digital download, and on 180g vinyl plus a digital download. The download is available now, and the cd's and vinyl will be available for shipping in about three weeks - and they will feature 'slightly different but similar artwork' from that seen on the clip below. You can purchase the album and keep up with their tour plans on their official website here: http://www.mybloodyvalentine.org/Default.aspx
While most North Americans have been spending today obsessed with footballs and Beyawnce I've been listening to 'm b v' deciding which of it's nine tracks to feature - I've chosen 'If I Am' and 'Who Sees You'.
'If I Am' is the fifth track on 'm b v' and one of several songs on the album featuring Bilinda Butcher on vocals - it's also a fine example of their dreamy drifting side... Enjoy!
'Who Sees You' is the album's third track and one of it's heavier shoegaze numbers... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! My Bloody Valentine - 'Soon' (Christian Strobe Remix) Yesterday we featured the rare original remix of My Bloody Valentine's 'Soon' from 1990 - today we have a brand new 2011 club remix of the song! Christian Schnall aka Christian Strobe is a dj/ producer from Germany who, like myself, is a fan of both electronic and indie rock music. In addition to releasing his own original material - he's also recently remixed artists such as M83 and Arcade Fire.
Christian says this of the band: 'My Bloody Valentine and their album "loveless" were absolutely lifechanging for me (beside Slowdive). They created so massive soundwalls with guitars and lots of effect pedals, so f*ucking amazing. To be honest...yes i'm a f*cking shoegazer. Damn Techno. Haha'.
If this new remix is to your liking you can download it for free on Soundcloud courtesy of Christian Strobe himself here:

SummersRadio™ Special Anniversary! My Bloody Valentine - 'Blown A Wish'/ 'Soon' (Andrew Weatherall Remix) Today, November 4th marks the 20th anniversary of the release of My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless' album! Surprisingly there are no anniversary editions being released, but the greatness of said release shall not go unnoticed here at SummersRadio™. As shown in the previous post for Sleeping Bags, the shozegaze sound (thankfully) is still influencing new bands today.
'Loveless' didn't come easy though - it took two years to record - taxing the finances of their label Creation Records. It was never a huge seller, but critics and fans alike have been praising it for a full two decades now. This is one of my favorite tracks from 'Loveless' - as I like the spacious drifting romantic feel to it - this is 'Blown A Wish'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Rare Remix! My Bloody Valentine - 'Soon' (Andrew Weatherall Remix) Although 'Soon' was included on the 'Loveless' album it was first released on the 'Glider EP' which came out the previous year. This rare club friendly remix (complete with cowbell action) by Andrew Weatherall was only released on the second 12" single (the 'Glider EP Remixes' 12") in the U.K. - Enjoy!
