My Bloody Valentine's Colm Ó Cíosóig says new album is "in the making"

The various members of My Bloody Valentine have kept themselves pretty busy lately - Kevin Shields recently joined forces with Brian Eno for a particularly exciting collaboration just last week - while Cíosóig himself has been playing with Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval as part of The Warm Inventions. Despite this, they seem to have found time to work on the follow up to 2013's comeback LP m b v.

Cíosóig recently spoke to radio station WBUR in his Hope Sandoval And The Warm Inventions capacity, and when asked about the future of My Bloody Valentine he candidly replied: "I've been working on that preceding this tour, and I’m going to go back and work on that once the tour is done. It's in the making."

The rumours began swirling about a new LP next year in a profile for Kevin Shields on the website for Sigur Rós' festival Norður og Niður revealed that Shields is "working on material for a new My Bloody Valentine album to be released in 2018." A new shirt has also popped up on My Bloody Valentine's store - not normally big news, but as fans on Reddit note, the band's merch usually follows direct from their releases' artwork. This new one is titled 'mbv fuzz'.
