\"Japancakes<\/p>\n

Now here’s something interesting. Multi-member instrumentalist group, Japancakes, has re-done Loveless<\/em><\/a>, the seminal 1991 album by My Bloody Valentine. But don’t call it a re-creation or a re-imagining of the album. It’s quite faithful, and it takes the harder edges of the MBV work and smooths them a bit, calms things down, preserves the melody and structure all the while avoiding the muzak pitfall. A more sincere form of flattery, I can’t imagine. I’ve always been a noise-pop, shoegaze fan (Curve, Chapterhouse, Lilys, Ride) so it’s interesting to see an album of that grouping treated as a classic to be emulated and honored.<\/p>\n

Check out my fave tune from the album. Twice.<\/p>\n
