My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields was recently the guest on NPR’s “All Songs Considered.” During his conversation with Bob Boilen, Shields spoke at length about his new remasters of Loveless and Isn’t Anything, detailing the difference between digital and analog recordings. Around the 45:20 mark, Shields begins talking about the band’s new release, which he describes as being “a sprawling EP.” “I’m gonna do a couple of them before I do an album,” he says, noting that the band will be introducing new music at their upcoming shows. “I just want to mix it up a bit and get away from my, every 22 years I make an album and then tour and disappear for five years,” he continues.

Elsewhere during the interview (around 50:30), Shields talks briefly about his recent collaboration with Brian Eno. The results of those sessions will be released as a new 12" vinyl single on Record Store Day. Read Pitchfork’s feature interview with Kevin Shields.
