The shoegaze genre emerged in the United Kingdom and Ireland during the late 1980s. A wave of young bands began experimenting with their instruments and pedals, prioritising distortion, feedback and thick layers of sound. However, these abrasive features were usually contrasted with dream-like vocal melodies, giving the music a uniquely emotive sound. Although incredible bands such as Ride, Slowdive, Pale Saints and Lush made significant contributions to the scene, My Bloody Valentine were the genre’s definitive voice. Their second album, Loveless, remains the most vital shoegaze album ever made.
