Our Take

The Jesus and Mary Chain's latest offering, "Damage And Joy," is a rollercoaster of sonic intensity and melancholic beauty. From the opening track, "Amputation," it's clear that the Reid brothers haven't lost their edge or their ability to deliver a killer hook.

Throughout the album, they seamlessly blend their signature shoegaze sound with elements of punk and garage rock, creating a dynamic and addictive listening experience. Tracks like "All Things Pass" and "Song For A Secret" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy, yet emotionally resonant songs that stay with you long after the music has stopped.

But it's not all introspective musings and dreamy guitar riffs - there are also moments of pure chaos and noise, like in "Presidici (Et Chapaquiditch)" and "War On Peace," where the band pushes the boundaries of their sound to exhilarating effect.

Overall, "Damage And Joy" is a testament to The Jesus and Mary Chain's enduring creativity and ability to surprise and delight. It's a must-listen for fans of the band, as well as anyone looking for a bold and exhilarating musical experience. So grab your leather jacket and your sunglasses, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the twisted minds of these legends of alternative rock. Cheers to another great album from the powerhouse that is The Jesus and Mary Chain.

About the artist

The Jesus and Mary Chain

The Jesus and Mary Chain are the Scottish siblings who brought chaos to the tranquil waters of 80s indie rock. Formed in 1983 by brothers Jim and William Reid, this band is a perfect storm of punk attitude, melodic sensibility, and a healthy dose of feedback-drenched noise. Their groundbreaking debut album "Psychocandy" from 1985 is a genre-defining masterpiece, fusing sweet pop melodies with a blistering wall of sound. With their signature blend of dark lyrics and distorted guitars, The Jesus and Mary Chain quickly became darlings of the underground music scene, influencing countless bands to come. Tracks like "Just Like Honey" and "Head On" have stood the test of time, proving that sometimes a little chaos is exactly what you need. But don't let their brooding image fool you - the Reids are known for their sharp wit and irreverent sense of humour. Whether they're throwing shade at the music industry or poking fun at themselves, The Jesus and Mary Chain are always quick with a clever quip. After a tumultuous career that included breakups, reunions, and everything in between, The Jesus and Mary Chain are still going strong today. Their latest album "Damage and Joy" from 2017 is a reminder of why we fell in love with them in the first place - a perfect mix of darkness and light, noise and melody. So if you're looking for a band that's equal parts cool and chaotic, look no further than The Jesus and Mary Chain. They may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those who get it, they're pure sonic bliss. And that's not just our feedback talking.
