New Japancakes!

Post by Marc Jenkins »

Forum member John Neff and company enter into interesting territory here, with a cover of My Bloody Valentine's ENTIRE 90's classic Loveless album. Here's a taste!

Nice! I love "Loveless", what a classic that album is.

...and judging from that sample track, the Japancakes take on it sounds pretty cool. Very faithful to the original conceptually, but with a completely different feel and sound.

I'm sure many of the forum folk don't know about MBV and particularly the "Loveless" album, but doing a complete remake of that album is sort of the indie rock equivalent of someone doing an all instrumental remake of "Sgt. Peppers"...

I'll pick this one up, for sure. I have some of their other stuff, and totally dig it.
