In 2017, The Jesus and Mary Chain shared Damage And Joy, their first new album in 19 years. 2023 year marks 40 years since the formation of the seminal rock band, and, to celebrate, they’re announcing a new album called Glasgow Eyes. The lead single “jamcod” is out today.

“Hopefully people will expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and that’s certainly what Glasgow Eyes is,” Jim Reid said. “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.”
