Vinyl Records London are on cloud nine, we are now spinning in a brand new copy in Red Vinyl from The Jesus and Mary Chain Marking 40 years of The Jesus And Mary Chain, lsquoGlasgow Eyesrsquo was recorded at Mogwairsquos Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow, where Jim and William continued the creative process that resulted in their previous album, 2017rsquos lsquoDamage and Joyrsquo, becoming their highest charting album in over twenty years. What emerged is a record that finds one of the UKrsquos most influential groups embracing a productive second chapter, their maelstrom of melody, feedback and controlled chaos now informed more audibly by their love for Suicide and Kraftwerk and a fresh appreciation of the less disciplined attitudes found in jazz. Jim Reid says, ldquoBut donrsquot expect lsquothe Mary Chain goes jazz.rsquo People should expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and thatrsquos certainly what lsquoGlasgow Eyesrsquo 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 therersquos a telepathy there we are those weird notquite twins that finish each otherrsquos sentences.rdquo lsquoGlasgow Eyesrsquo not only extends The Jesus and Mary Chains story, but feels simultaneously like a return to roots. From the incendiary lsquoPsychocandyrsquo debut and its classic lsquoJust Like Honeyrsquo onwards, the Reid brothers steadily became the misfits who made good without compromise.
