5 Things to Know About My Bloody Valentine's Loveless

The album was recorded across nineteen different studios between February 1989 and September 1991. This prolonged, scattered recording process contributed to the album’s famously dense and layered sound.

It was released on November 4, 1991, by Creation Records in the UK and Sire Records in the US. The album’s release was delayed multiple times due to the band’s perfectionism and studio costs.

The nineteen studios were used because the band kept searching for the right sound and equipment. This approach made the recording process notoriously expensive and time-consuming.

The album’s production nearly bankrupted Creation Records. The label had to take out loans to cover the mounting studio bills.

Loveless is considered a landmark shoegaze album despite its troubled creation. Its innovative use of guitar textures and production techniques influenced countless artists afterward.
