After 22 agonizing years, the new My Bloody Valentine record, m b v, has finally been released on the band's official website! The news of the release crashed the website on Saturday night, but after a few hours, tears, and even a White House petition (which has now been removed), the site finally was able to handle the massive traffic.
m b v is available in three formats - a digital download, 180 gm vinyl, and cd. The physical formats will be mailed out on February 22nd (the band are still finalizing the artwork) but come with an immediate download when purchased.
Sadly some people are never satisfied and are complaining about the price of the release (the digital download is 16 dollars). After 22 long years Kevin Shields FINALLY releases new music - honestly, I'd pay double.
Grab a copy here and stream the full album below:
