My Bloody Valentine

On April 5, 1990, My Bloody Valentine performed at ULU in London, a pivotal moment during their career following the release of their groundbreaking album "Loveless." Released in 1991, "Loveless" is often hailed as a landmark in shoegaze and alternative music, showcasing the band's innovative use of guitar effects and ethereal vocals. Prior to this performance, they had already garnered attention with their earlier album "Isn't Anything" (1988), which helped define their sound. The setlist from the live recording features tracks that encapsulate the band's signature mix of melody and noise, including "I Only Said," "Soon," and "When You Sleep." Notably, this period was characterized by their meticulous approach to recording, which led to significant delays in releasing "Loveless." The ULU show is a testament to their evolving live performances, magnetizing audiences with their dense atmospheres and sonic textures, even before the cult status of "Loveless" solidified their legacy.
