My Bloody Underground is the thirteenth studio album by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, released on April 15, 2008[1] by a 'A Records', a label set up by the band's leader, Anton Newcombe.[2]. It was recorded in Liverpool, England and Reykjavik, Iceland in August and October 2007, respectivley[3].

The title of the album was originally believed to be a homage to the bands My Bloody Valentine, The Velvet Underground, and The Jesus and Mary Chain - being a combination of first two names and a play on track name "My Little Underground" by The Jesus and Mary Chain. However, in an interview, Anton mentioned that the word "bloody" is used in place of the word "fucking". Rough mixes of many of the songs from the sessions were first made available on the band's Myspace page[4], and then as a pre-release download from the official website on September 3rd, 2007.[5]

My Bloody Underground contains more experimental sounds than previous BJM albums, especially with a collaboration with Mark Gardner, formerly of Ride, who co-wrote the song 'Monkey Powder'. The album is a more avant-garde approach to producing and recording.

The music videos of the songs on the album have also been released, including a music video compilation DVD entitled 'Book of Days'.
