Kevin Shields has been revisiting his Isn't Anything and Loveless classics.
In the pipeline for what seems like forever, the re-mastered versions of Isn't Anything and Loveless are finally on their way. Irish visionary Kevin Shields has been painstakingly working away on them at Metropolis Studios in London and now feels the time is right to unleash them on the world. Already two staggering pieces of sonic genius (particularly the wondrous Loveless), it seems hard to imagine how they could be improved upon. We won't have to imagine for too long – both will be out on May 11.
Loveless comes as a 2-disc set featuring a previous re-mastering from original analogue tapes, completed by Kevin Shields but never released.
On top of that, a brand new compilation of EPs and previously un-released tracks will be released the same day.
As for new material on the horizon, the band – whisper it – are apparently back in the studio working on their third album. Still could be a decade off, of course. We've been hurt before!
