So excited to finally hear mbv. Got into Loveless around the time of its release in ‘13, but never checked it out.
When listening to Loveless for the first time I always tell people to play it loud as hell and just let it consume you
Haha yup - it’s amazing in a car too. That album is as physical as it is aural, you really feel that shit lol
Kevin said in the past that the reason they were so loud was because of that just that, it would make him and Belinda feel high in his own words when they were writing that stuff. There’s also an amusing anecdote that when they toured on Loveless, they would be so damn loud that people in the audience would scream at them to turn it down because it was too much to handle.
Saw them in 2013 and it was a top 3 show of my lifetime, and I'm grateful to have experienced it. They weren't louder than Neurosis though
Yea, when I saw them live it wasn't the loudest ever or anything (can't remember if i ended up wearing earplugs or not) but the immersion factor was bonkers and it sounded closer to album quality than expected.
Really like this a lot. Reminds me of something I can't put my finger on. I love it when I randomly click on a post and it's awesome haha.
Not a huge fan of this or the EP sadly. I think it borders more on post punk at times than shoegaze. I think it’s the vocals. Cant put my finger on it.
