Chamber rock/acoustic renditions of My Bloody Valentine’s epic Loveless record from 1990 (plus “swallow” released on EP only). Fans of MBV will appreciate how he interprets the weird feedback overtones using strings, dissonance. Quite a cool project. Its pretty awesome how this CD brings out just what wonderful indie pop music MBV made, getting away from all the feedback and volume (see track 5). This stuff is just what you would imagine really, so pick your favorite MBV song. You don’t have one? Then pick any.
No track by track. All clock in at 1:51 to 5:33, hover mostly around 4 minutes. FCC clean.
Recommended tracks:
3 (1:51, trippy)
5 (4:09, drop dead sweet lovely pop
6) (3:52, cool)
10) (4:24, piano, was this in Lost in Translation?)
11) (4:59, this has a drum kit, stands out just like the original did, closing the record with what sounded like a “rave” dance beat to early 90’s ears)
