Scottish alternative rock duo The Jesus and Mary Chain have announced their new album, Glasgow Eyes, set for release on March 8th via Fuzz Club. The LP will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the outfit, comprised of brothers Jim and William Reid. The announcement arrives alongside news of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s upcoming 2024 EU/UK headliner tour — as well as the release of their first Glasgow Eyes single, “jamcod,” which you can stream below.
Jim Reid said in a press release that Glasgow Eyes is a Jesus and Mary Chain album, through and through. “Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984, just hit the studio and see what happens,” he said. “There’s a telepathy there — we are those weird not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences. Of course, as one could expect from the highly experimental duo, there will still be plenty of new influences on Glasgow Eyes. This time around, the brothers’ newfound penchant for jazz can be seen at play.
“jamcod” feels like an embodiment of this paradoxical homecoming through new terrain, capturing something both fresh and familiar to fans. With distorted electronic effects and steady vocals and guitar, “jamcod” establishes an entrancing first dive into Glasgow Eyes.
Glasgow Eyes is now available for pre-order on digital, CD, vinyl, and a 45 rpm 2xLP.
The Jesus and Mary Chain’s 2024 EU/UK tour will kick off on March 22nd in Manchester, making 22 stops including Berlin, London, Paris, Stockholm, and more. Pre-sale tickets will be available to any fans who have pre-ordered the album via themarychain.com beginning today at 6:00 a.m. ET ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, December 1st via Ticketmaster.
