Product Description
Album Description
Athens, GA's experimental, instrumental, Americana group, Japancakes cover My Bloody Valentine's classic Loveless record from start to finish with pedal steel and cello in place of vocal and lead melodies -- and without any distortion. MBV’s Loveless (Creation: 1991) remains the defining record of the genre and completely unparalleled by any artist since. More soon.

Blasphemous, amazing and beautiful, Nov 26 2007
By TheTechGuy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loveless (Audio CD)
It's hard to imagine anyone having the guts to remake the entire Loveless album. It's even harder to imagine that capturing the intricacy of that album with piano, organ, flute, cello, overdriven Telecasters (or at least the overdriven Telecaster sound), steel guitar, bass and drums. Most noticeably missing from the list is distortion. While Japancakes' album is awash in reverb, echo, space echo, delay feedback (you get the point) the overall effect is the quintessential ambient americana treatment of the greatest glimmer rock/shoegazer album of the 1990s. While My Bloody Valentine's laborious studio production, seems to be the result of about two years of meticulous cutting and pasting audio tracks on late 80's studio equipment, Japancakes reminds us that Kevin Shields also had a keen, yet unorthodox sense of melody, counterpoint and working with variations on themes. Behind the distortion and unorthodox mixing style of the original, Japancakes prove, (as MBV fans have always felt in their guts) that underneath the noise Loveless is a delicate beautiful album filled with musical themes that may haunt you for years.

Worthy of Its Subject, April 17 2011
By Max Headroom "cooldownthepace" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loveless (Audio CD)
As the other reviewers said, if you love Loveless, odds are high you will love this. Admittedly, some songs are done better than others (To Here Knows When in particular is outstanding), but as a whole, the album is fantastic. I find myself listening to it just as much as the original these days--especially since it's a bit easier than the original to just keep on in the background while you're doing something else.

Bold and Beautiful., May 24 2008
By D. W WISELY "chiffandfipple" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loveless (Audio CD)
There's more than one way to love "Loveless," the great My Bloody Valentine album covered here song-by-song. You can marvel at the legendary layers of distorted sound that have a really peculiar effect on the brain of the listener. But, careful fans have always been aware of some incredible music under all of that sound. I've imagined for years that some musicians could come along and take a shot at a new way of playing these beautiful songs. It's not, of course, a substitute for MBV's classic, but a welcome new way of appreciating the original. Highly recommended.
