My Bloody Valentine
Tremolo

"Tremolo", 1991: just before "Loveless". And it shows.

Sounds, melodies, voices, arrangements: everything already presents itself as a perfect, compact boiling magma, united, condensing drug-induced vapors in which each track flows into the next in a single, extremely stretched and malleable stream of consciousness.

"To Here Knows When" opens, one of the most unsettling tracks, from an (extra) sensory point of view of "Loveless"; a brief instrumental interlude at the end of the first piece leads to "Swallow", whose narcotic, ecstatic rhythm of melody and arrangement perfectly aligns with the erotic, spiritual moans and sighs of Bilinda Butcher, here already in the role of the inspired and inspiring Muse of fantasies, mental journeys, surreal creations, desires, psychedelic dreams. "Honey Power" (with the same splendid voice that welcomes us into the sweet and violent distortion of the track) and the drunken, absorbed, distorted howl at the moon through the oscillating, hypnotic, drugged guitars of the closing "Moonsong" highlight the band's intention at its best; namely to create a sort of parallel reality, a dimension "other" where the union between sweet, dreamy, psychedelic melodies and distortions, appropriately treated with various types of "additives", appears as something totally alien, truly never heard before.

With "Tremolo" you journey toward unexplored worlds, with "Loveless" you reach them to surpass them; and never return again.
