Speaking to US publication Billboard, My Bloody Valentine’s manager, Vinita Joshi, said: “At the moment, all I can say is that Kevin [Shields] is getting the band back together and they will go into the studio next month to work on the new record.”

She also added that, following the digital release, the new album will also appear on vinyl.
