In their earliest days, My Bloody Valentine were playing Cramps-style psychobilly that did them few favors in terms of record sales or critical acclaim.

What’s more, for a four-year period between 19, essentially everything the band released was phenomenal. The two-decade delay is practically comical at this point, it’s easy to forget that My Bloody Valentine once was a band that operated in a relatively normal fashion, issuing full-length albums, singles and EPs at a fairly standard rate.

How one chooses to parse out what counts as continuous work and how long an interval has to be before it’s considered a hiatus is a matter up for debate, but as of yet, no follow up to Loveless, not even an EP, has surfaced as of yet. Kevin Shields has suggested on numerous occasions that, despite 20 years of no new music (save for a Wire cover and some remixes), he never really stopped working on My Bloody Valentine material.
