Feed Me With Your Kiss by My Bloody Valentine

Feed Me With Your Kiss, a 1988 EP on Creation Records, catches My Bloody Valentine in the year everything turned for them. The band, formed in Dublin, had just signed to the label, and the title track, released on 31 October 1988, doubles as the lead single from their debut album Isn't Anything, where it sits seventh in the running order.

The lineup is the classic one: Kevin Shields and Bilinda Butcher on guitars and voices, Debbie Googe on bass and Colm Ó Cíosóig on drums. And the noise is the one that would come to be called shoegaze, guitars bent and smeared into a woozy, distorted blur, the vocals half-buried and genderless beneath it, the production breaking every rule in the studio handbook. It came after Ecstasy, and it's a bruising little taster for the album.
