But trading Kevin Shields’ snarling guitar manipulations for softer, dreamier textures, the Reading-based Slowdive took the genre to its logical conclusion-and unleashed the definitive shoegaze statement, Souvlaki, in May of 1993. There’s little dispute that MBV defined shoegaze on 1991’s Loveless. Maybe it’s been inevitable all along, but the timing of Slowdive’s reunion announcement-arriving just a year after My Bloody Valentine’s first album in 22 years-still feels eerily appropriate.
