Kevin Shield has confirmed that My Bloody Valentine will release their long awaited follow-up to 1991's Loveless on his own website before the end of the year.
Shield has also confirmed he will follow that release with another EP of brand new material.
Talking about the sound of the new material in a recent interview, Shield said: "I think with this record, people who like us will immediately connect with something. Based on the very, very few people who’ve heard stuff – some engineers, the band, and that’s about it – some people think it’s stranger than 'Loveless'. I don’t. I feel like it really frees us up, and in the bigger picture it’s 100 per cent necessary."
To support the releases, the band already has five dates lined up in Japan and Australia, including appearances at Tokyo Rocks Music Festival and ATP’s I’ll Be Your Mirror Melbourne.
