My Bloody Valentine's Debbie Googe was interviewed by Drowned In Sound a few months back while she was on the road playing with Primal Scream. DIS published the full interview today and it's a great read - she discussed playing with Primal Scream, confirmed a new MBV record was recorded (at the time of the interview Googe revealed Kevin Shields was "finishing it up") and talked about MBV's legacy:
"It's brilliant, yet also quite weird in a way that we became seminal for doing nothing. We never got that much press at the time. We never got many front covers. Loveless had the misfortune of coming out the same week as Nevermind which meant we didn't really get a lot of first-hand press, but we got loads afterwards as more and more bands cited us so we became seminal. Which in a way, probably gives you a longer lifespan than actually being popular."

My Bloody Valentine are hitting the road next year for some live shows - todaythree four new U.K. dates were announced. Fans in the U.S. will have to just sit back and drool for now, but according to Googe there are plans to tour America at some point - "America too...I just don't know when."
