The New Record by My Bloody Valentine is the second
EP by the Irish-English
alternative rock band
My Bloody Valentine, released in September 1986 on Kaleidoscope Sound. Recorded at Alaska Studios in
London, the EP's sound is influenced by
C86, a brand of
indie pop, and diverges from the band's earlier
post-punk sound.
Allmusic writer Nitsuh Abebe has called The New Record by My Bloody Valentine "a vital point in the development of [the band's] sound" and referred to it as "the point at which the band started to experiment with pop music and noise", influenced by
The Jesus and Mary Chain.[1] Upon its release, The New Record by My Bloody Valentine peaked at number 22 in the
UK Independent Singles Chart.[2]
