My Bloody Valentine's Loveless — Mike McGonigal

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless is one of the most revered albums of the 1990s. Highly influential, shrouded in mystery, it has — so far— been an impossible album to follow up for its chief creator, Kevin Shields. Here, Mike McGonigal pieces together the often painful process behind the writing and recording of Loveless, and tries to separate fact from fiction in a story that involves (among other things) chinchillas, chicken-eating contests, countless engineers, and sleep deprivation. The result, with the help of kevin Shields and the rest of MBV — is a fitting tribute to this remarkable record.
