This site is devoted to recounting and keeping up with the work of Kevin Shields both through his main outlet, My Bloody Valentine (MBV), and as a solo artist. This site will also preview information from my Kevin Shields biography. The manuscript is being laid out and the book will be here before your know it. 

 

It is not a collection of quotes, but a proper narrative biography backed up by approximately five hundred sources, including new interviews from those that worked with Shields in the studio and at Island Records. It is a thoughtful look at this brilliant, iconic musician and the arc of his story to date. Even as one his biggest fans, I failed to grasp how much he overcame until taking on this project.

 

If Loveless is all you know, you're missing 80% of his story. If My Bloody Valentine is all you know, then you're missing 40% of his story because his additional work as solo artist, producer, guitar player, and remixer is often every bit as affecting as his work with MBV. Besides the work, his interviews reveal him to be in a small fraternity of thoughtful and articulate musicians who can make listeners rethink even their most basic assumptions about music and art. Combined with a rare vulnerability, it is no fluke that so many journalists from all over the world have sought him out to discuss the state of his art, the state of the industry and the times that we're living in. 

 

His ability to capture transcendent aural moments makes it plain that this universal language is the prism through which he views the world. Read closely, the book may change how you define and relate to music, noise, language, our shared consciousness and its possibilities.
