The Jesus and Mary Chain announce new album, Glasgow Eyes

The Jesus and Mary Chain have announced their first album in seven years. On March 8, they’ll release Glasgow Eyes, via Fuzz Club. Today they’ve shared the first single, “jamcod,” which you can hear below. Plus they’re also touring Europe early next year. Check out those dates below.

Jim Reid said in a statement, “People should expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and that’s certainly what Glasgow Eyes is. Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984, just hit the studio and see what happens. We went in with a bunch of songs and let it take its course. There are no rules, you just do whatever it takes. And there’s a telepathy there – we are those weird not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences.”

Glasgow Eyes follows 2017’s Damage and Joy. Their 1985 album Psychocandy is featured on our list of the 150 Best Albums of the 1980s.
