"ONLY SHALLOW" MY BLOODY VALENTINE (1991)

On Mental Jukebox, I try to include some of the influential acts in music history. Not necessarily the most prolific or most successful bands. But ones that redefined music and inspired future artists and genres. It was just a matter of time that I would feature a My Bloody Valentine song. “Only Shallow” was a perfect expression of shimmering, textural soundscapes. You don’t so much listen to it as you let it wash over you.
