Kevin Shields: MBV Will "100%" Make Another Album 
Kevin Shields has revealed, in an interview published in the January/February issue of
Magnet Magazine, that he intends to record another full-length with
My Bloody Valentine. It would be the shoegaze overlords' first album since 1991's classic
Loveless.
"I do feel that I will make another great record," Shields told the publication. "We are 100% going to make another My Bloody Valentine record unless we die or something. I'd feel really bad if I didn't make another record. Like, shit, people only got the first two chapters, but the last bit is the best bit. It's just that it's taken me such an oddly long time for that to happen." Wait. Better than
Loveless? Kev, we know good for press and everything, but holy crap, dude, what are you saying?
Given Shields' recent remix and solo work for Sofia Coppola films and Go! Team singles, the guy has a lot to prove-- although there's no question the album would certainly be one of the most highly anticipated releases of... whatever year it eventually comes out. As for what year that might be, Shields was hesitant to give any kind of timeframe. (Actually, the answer was, "I don't know," so let's just take this with a grain of salt altogether.)
But Shields did have this to say, in defense of the band's inability, thus far, to follow their magnum opus:
"A lot of people say the reason My Bloody Valentine didn't make another record is because we couldn't. That's mostly true, but not because we couldn't make another record, but because I never could be bothered to make another record unless I was really excited by it. And just by fate or whatever, that never happened. I'm quite optimistic about the future, even though experience has taught me that I'm probably just delusional."
Hah, well, on the
off chance it never happens, we'll always have the past:
