In early 1988, My Bloody Valentine decided that they were, as their de facto leader, Kevin Shields, puts it today, “finished”. On the edge of greatness ... Debbie Googe, Colm Ó Cíosóig, Bilinda Butcher and Kevin Shields in the late 80s. But none of them really sounded like My Bloody Valentine, because, with each release, Shields changed the band’s sound. Calling from his home in Ireland, Shields does not sound much like the damaged latter-day Brian Wilson of popular myth. The thing is, he says, he always intended My Bloody Valentine to release more music than they have.
