Advance Praise for Book

‘Neither fan service nor primer, Turn My Head Into Sound commendably strikes the perfect balance. The result is a rare thing indeed: a rock biography worth reading.’

Praise for Kevin Shields

'I don’t think that there is a record that I’ve listened to more often, and come back to at so many junctures in my life than Loveless. . . It’s basically a really gentle, lush, electronic noise record. It’s just the best thing ever really…"

ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER (DANIEL LOPATIN), 2011

'He reinvented the guitar. . .

Kevin's guitar textures are hallucinatory.'

BUTCH VIG, GARBAGE FOUNDER AND

PRODUCER OF NIRVANA'S NEVERMIND, 1995
