My Bloody Valentine have announced a headlining slot at Japan's Tokyo Rocks festival in May 2013, where they will be playing exclusive material from a brand new album.
The album, the very-long-awaited follow-up to 1991’s classic 'Loveless', has been 21 years in the making. It will be released on frontman Kevin Shields’ website before the end of the year, and will be followed by a further EP of brand new material.
"I think with this record, people who like us will immediately connect with something. Based on the very, very few people who’ve heard stuff – some engineers, the band, and that’s about it – some people think it’s stranger than 'Loveless'. I don’t. I feel like it really frees us up, and in the bigger picture it’s 100 per cent necessary."

I'll believe it when I see it, he's the laziest man in music etc etc.
On the plus side, Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai tweeted this earlier: "It's definitely coming out. #insideinfo"
I hope he's right. Whatever it sounds like, I reckon a new MBV album will be one the best things heard this year or any other
That could take 7 years.
