My Bloody Valentine frontman Kevin Shields has told a US magazine the band will record a new album.
Speaking to 'Magnet' mag, the shoegazer icon explained that the famously dormant four-piece want to release a follow-up to 1991's 'Loveless' album."I do feel that I will make another great record," Shields said. "We are 100% going to make another My Bloody Valentine record unless we die or something. I'd feel really bad if I didn't make another record. Like, shit, people only got the first two chapters, but the last bit is the best bit. It's just that it's taken me such an oddly long time for that to happen."
Shields gave no timeframe for any future release, and suggested that the band hadn't released anything since the 1991 opus because they weren't able to produce anything to match the quality of 'Loveless'.
He continued, "A lot of people say the reason My Bloody Valentine didn't make another record is because we couldn't. That's mostly true, but not because we couldn't make another record, but because I never could be bothered to make another record unless I was really excited by it. And just by fate or whatever, that never happened. I'm quite optimistic about the future, even though experience has taught me that I'm probably just delusional."
