Turn My Head into Sound

A History of Kevin Shields and My Bloody Valentine

This site is to comple-
ment the biography of
Kevin Shields and MBV, in addition to to keeping up with any news of value.

Images to accompany the book will be added in the very near future, and one or two items will be available, to those who register.

UPDATE: IF IN THE US, and are interested in a paperback copy, contact me. I have a few left over. Amazon.com (their US site) added an inaccurate message with the date of another pressing. Copies can be found on bookfinder.com, and new copies can be found on Amazon.co.uk for those closer to Europe. ALSO: If you registered last week or last year, one or more of my responses could be in your spam folder . Don't hesitate to email me at mbvbook72@gmail.com if you didn't receive a second email after registering and receiving a generic automated email greeting. This site has no affiliation with MBV/Kevin Shields. Photo used by kind permission of Matt Anker. Published by Jawbone Press.

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 OF ROCK BAND GARBAGE AND

PRODUCER OF NIRVANA'S NEVERMIND, 1995
