Kevin Shields is a mysterious one. In a brief interview with Pitchfork he discusses his recording process and the possibility of My Bloody Valentine’s long-awaited third album being completed soon. What a tease.
I’m just finishing a record that I had started in the 90s. It was going to be, like, the next record. But it was already after the band had half split up, and me and Bilinda [Butcher] were left. Then we got back together. We never broke up, technically; I left the band for legal reasons once, I had to. But other than that, I’ve always said that we were going to make a record again. You never know, we might finish it really quickly, and it might be up in a few months! I tend to work really quickly, suddenly, and I might be willing to do that right now. We’ll see!
If this record ever sees the light of day, now would be the right time — the official remasters of Isn’t Anything, Loveless, and their EPs are due out May 7th on Sony.
