Album of the moment

Lilys-In The Presence of Nothing.zip
In 1991 a group called Lilys released an album that sounded so much like My Bloody Valentine that many people thought the group had changed their name for the release. They did not, but Kurt Heasley, the driving force of the Lilys, was able to make his guitar sound the same way Kevin Shields had on Loveless. Shoegaze was dying out and the album never really got its due. At this point the album is out of print and goes for upwards of 40 dollars on amazon.

I’m not the biggest fan of shoegaze or MBV, but I’ve been really into this album lately. I highly recommend it if you like MBV at all.

Man, In The Presence of Nothing is one of my favorite albums ever! It has a mysterious quality to it that I think out does MBV.

I agree. I still don’t understand how it was recorded.. so strange, low fi, a bit rough, but I listen to it way more than mbv
