my bloody valentine, the quartet of Bilinda Butcher, Kevin Shields, Deb Googe, and Colm Ó Cíosóig, is widely revered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential groups of the last forty years. In an era when guitar bands embodied retro-classicism at best, My Bloody Valentine not only sounded unlike any of their contemporaries, the band managed the rare feat of sounding like the future.

With their debut album Isn't Anything (originally released in 1988), My Bloody Valentine revolutionized alternative music and ushered in a new approach to guitar music for generations to come. The album spawned a sound that became the template for thousands of new subgenres and heralded a new approach to guitar music and studio production. Not only was it a new kind of music, but it also paved the way for a new kind of journalism that made comparisons to primal phenomena and showed the effects of music on the psyche. Shields and Butcher often sang in a similar vocal range that allowed their voices to blend together. This had the effect of making their genders indistinguishable, to the point where their voices could be used as another melodic layer to complement the dizzying sounds of Shields' guitars.
