My Bloody Valentine Release New Album "mbv"

My Bloody Valentine have released their brand new album, 'mbv' last night (February 2) via a brand new website for the band.

The nine-track follow-up to 1991's 'Loveless' is available exclusively from the website and will be sold as a download only, CD and download or as a 180g vinyl, CD and download package. The vinyl and CD packages will be posted within three weeks of purchase date, but the download will be immediate.

The tracklisting for 'mbv' is as follows

01. She Found Now
02. Only Tomorrow
03. Who Sees You
04. Is This And Yes
05. If I Am
06. New You

The vinyl and CD artwork is currently being finished and each format will have slightly different but similar artwork to the download artwork that will be attached to your download.

My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields Confirms New Album By End Of 2012

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.
