 My Bloody Valentine experimented with a noise pop sound on the album , a venture which was influenced by The Jesus and Mary Chain , and incorporated elements of twee pop similar to " Strawberry Wine " . Shields used a twelve @-@ string electric guitar during the Ecstasy 's recording sessions and was influenced by The Byrds during the writing process , which resulted in the guitar tones being " too jingly jangly " . Writer Colin Larkin described Ecstasy 's sound as " bubblegum pop with buzzsaw guitars " , which was similar to their prior releases and further diverged from their earlier post @-@ punk and gothic rock sound . Jim DeRogatis noted that Ecstasy 's overall sound " ushered in a sunnier , more optimistic vibe " for the band which was reminiscent of the sound of 1960s American psychadelia , in particular the Los Angeles based band Love . " Clair " , one of the first recordings to feature Bilinda Butcher , features a sampled tape loop of audience screams from The Beatles ' live album , The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl ( 1977 ) . The sample was processed through audio filters to emulate guitar feedback .
