"Feed Me With Your Kiss" led the charge for Isn't Anything, My Bloody Valentine's 1988 debut album on Creation: it was the first single from the record, where it turns up as the seventh track, and it also fronted an EP of the same name. Kevin Shields wrote words and music, and the band produced and mixed it themselves, with Dave Anderson, Steve Nunn and Alex Russell engineering.
Shields and Bilinda Butcher are on guitars, Debbie Googe on bass and Colm Ó Cíosóig on drums, and the result is a tense, heavy-lidded rush, darker than the swoon the word shoegaze usually conjures. Not everyone heard it as a step forward: AllMusic's Stewart Mason reckoned it harked back to the moody, gothy rock of the band's earliest records, the ones he rated well below this album.
