As a follow-up to their 2017 album “Damage and Joy,” and to mark the occasion of their 40th, brothers Jim and William Reid have announced the new album, “Glasgow Eyes,” and a UK / European tour. The album will be released on March 8th and the first single, “Jamcod,” is already creating buzz. No word just yet on the North American tour, but it is likely an announcement is coming soon.
About the new album, Jim Reid said, “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.”

In 2024 the band will celebrate their 40th anniversary of insanely cool music. Songs like “Head On,” “April Skies,” “Upside Down,” “Just Like Honey,” “Reverence,” and “Sometimes Always” captivated us and gave them a fanbase that spans the entire planet.
