“Only Tomorrow” feels very much congruent with “Loveless” but, as it evolves, there’s something a little different, too: a marked extra force to Colm O’Ciosoig’s drumming, and a crude immediacy to Shields’ riffing, even as it is smothered in fx and matched up with something akin to a melodica. If MBV have been hailed and intellectualised over the years as post-rock, or anti-rock, or as a feminised inversion of guitar band orthodoxies, there’s a triumphal rockishness to what gradually reveals itself to be a solo, or the closest Shields has ever got to one. It’s lumbering, tentative, and far from the spiralling velocity of Shields’ old sparring partner J Mascis, but there’s a palpable kinship there, too, and an incredible tune embedded in the fuzz.
