Reports surfaced around Christmas that My Bloody Valentine had finished mastering their new album, and had plans to release it early this year. There had not been much news on the topic since then. That is, until this morning, when My Bloody Valentine announced that their new album and web site will go live “this evening”. It took a few more hours than expected due to technical issues (thousands of people clicking at once), but the new album – apparently entitled M B V – is available to download now at their official web site.
You can also purchase it on CD and vinyl, both formats with a free download code for the digital copy. The price is steep for a digital-only copy of the album: $16. But hey, it’s My Bloody Valentine. After waiting 22 years for the follow-up to 1991’s Loveless, that seems like money well spent. Expect plenty of errors on the site today, but keep refreshing. You should get there sooner or later. Trying to refresh the purchase page directly is probably the best bet. See the album’s track listing, and screenshots from the unstable web site:
