My Bloody Valentine Digitally Release Two Albums, EP

Tweet

Still waiting for those My Bloody Valentine remasters? There's some good news today, as the recently reunited shoegazers have finally digitally released their Isn't Anything and Loveless albums. Until today, both records had only been available in partial form. MBV also dusted off their Tremolo EP, giving that four song set its digital debut. Remastered physical versions of the albums were supposed to be released stateside back in June, but while they've since been released in the U.K., the U.S. reissues have been delayed. Likewise, a Japan-only MBV box set harboring unreleased tracks was also put on hold. Following a summer that featured their first concerts in 16 years, My Bloody Valentine will return to America with a September 19th performance at the All Tomorrow's Party festival in Monticello, New York.

Song Stories

“Karma Chameleon”

Culture Club | 1983

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
