My Bloody Valentine<\/strong>, for Pete’s sake! We’re talking about one of the most iconic bands of the last 30 years<\/strong> and one of the greatest milestone albums of the shoegaze<\/strong> genre: Loveless<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (Creation, 1991). Yes: shoegaze<\/strong>, the genre that emerged in the United Kingdom<\/strong>\u00a0in the late-80’s and that was characterised by mixing noise rock<\/strong> and dream pop<\/strong>: walls of tangled guitars<\/strong>, feedback<\/strong>, on which melodies<\/strong> were raised on melancholic stories<\/strong> or, straight-up sad lyrics. The name of the genre stems from the fact that the guitarists played while looking down at their own shoes<\/strong> -in fact, their guitar pedals<\/strong>– and not at the audience. Ride, Slowdive<\/strong>, Lush<\/strong>, The Boo Radleys<\/strong> or Pale Saints<\/strong> are some of its greatest exponents, without forgetting, of course, the band we’re dealing with here, the Dublin quartet<\/strong> led by the brilliant Kevin Shields<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
