Only ShallowNEW!My Bloody Valentine
Even if you mainly listen to rock, chances are you’ve seen your favorite artists mention the word “shoegaze.” Among the bands in the shoegaze genre, which emerged in the UK in the early 1990s, the most famous and important is My Bloody Valentine.
Fans even affectionately call them “MyBra.” The hallmark of My Bloody Valentine’s sound is an extraordinarily original sonic world—epitomized by their 1991 masterpiece Loveless, produced under such uncompromising perfectionism that it nearly bankrupted their then-label, Creation Records—where layers upon layers of noisy guitars fuse with ethereal melodies.
In 2008 they effectively reunited and even made a miraculous visit to Japan, and in 2013 they released the album m b v.
They also have shows scheduled in Japan in 2026, so be sure to experience their legendary live performance.

Written from the viewpoint of a younger sister, the lyrics capture a delicate emotional landscape that mixes admiration—and a touch of envy—toward a free-spirited sister who’s always a step ahead.
