So is there synth on this or not? What the fuck is that flute sounding thing
It's a flute.
i think they call that a hammer-on

It's all guitars even the drums are guitars
>>63457481
Rumor has it, even the vocals are guitars
they used synths when i saw them live, so i'm inclined to believe they're synths

I heard that Kevin Shields and Belinda are secretly guitars too.
>>63457481
is this true or is this meme

Yes, it is a flute. Kevin keeps things top secret but you can see in the credits that both Kevin and Colm are credited with "sampler". They used an Akai sampler with a midi controller, which means they could have sampled sounds from anything. But for example yes the flute is a flute and the "doo do doo do" part on When you sleep is a guitar sampled with a high pitch. Kevin also used Turkish music on "swallow" and the only credit on the tremelo ep is sampler, so anything on loveless could be anything.

THAT DOG'S A GUITAR! THAT BASKETBALL'S A GUITAR! EVEN MY WORDS ARE...!

HAHA
From what I've read of Kevin's interviews, all of the samples are guitar feedback. Another thing, he says there's only like one or two guitar tracks per song. His distortion stacking, reverse reverb, highly dynamic mastering work, redundant extended alternate tunings, slurpy pitch bends, these things seem to be key to the guitar sound. I can see how most every "synth" sound on here is guitar except for the the chords on Touched.

They are irish so it's definitely the skin flute
>>63458675
This.
They just slathered it in reverb but you can hear the distinctly fleshy sound of it.
I thought this was made with vacuum cleaners
>>63457677
No shit, the album cover is a picture of the band,
>>63457552
I think Kevin said in an interview that the cover is actually a guitar too!

hey! fellow redditor! how is it going? i love this new website!
>>63456694
what flute sounding thing
>>63456694
Flute sample on Soon.
The rest of the "keyboards/synths" are guitars/feedback
However, I'm uncertain about the "synth" on Sometimes.
Have you ever noticed how albums like Loveless are GOAT? OK Computer, The Dark Side of the Moon, Nevermind, etc.
They all feature effects pedals or tape manipulation. Contemporary critics call them gimmicks, but are they really
All the best albums including Loveless are psychedelic in some capacity and I don't think it's a coincidence. You'll never be able to fully appreciate music without taking a psych drug
