toytigers: Loveless by my bloody valentine

I first discovered Loveless during a winter when everything felt frozen—inside and out. I’d been going through this bizarre feeling of disconnection, like I was living in slow motion while the world sped past. The hazy, dreamlike walls of sound on this album were exactly what I needed. Shields’ guitar feels like it wraps around you, drowning out everything else, and for a while, that’s what I wanted: to be enveloped, to just exist in the music. ‘Sometimes’ became my anthem for late nights staring out the window, trying to piece together what the hell I was feeling. I think listening to this album was my first experience of frission.
