My Bloody Valentine
Quiet - loud, quiet - loud. For people whose singing voices were
slightly less audible than falling snow, My Bloody Valentine knew
how to make some noise. Mixing translucent folk melodies and
whispered vocals with revolutionary distortion, Isn't
Anything (1988) redrew the noise-rock map to
embrace the molten fury of hip hop and the lysergic euphoria of
acid house.
The album went off like fireworks inside your brain as Kevin
Shields' guitars bent the fabric of space and time, blending soft
and hard textures, speed with torpor, and dissonance with
dreamlike beauty.
By the turn of the decade, legions of shoe gazing imitators had
been spawned.
