The Jesus And Mary Chain - Glasgow Eyes (FC226CD) CD

'Glasgow Eyes' was recorded at Mogwai's Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow, where Jim and William continued the smoother creative process that resulted in their previous album, 2017's 'Damage and Joy' becoming their highest charting album in over twenty years. What emerged this time around is a record that finds one of the UK's most influential groups embracing a productive second chapter, their maelstrom of sweet melody, searing feedback and controlled chaos now informed deeper by their love for Suicide and Kraftwerk as well as a new-found passion for the spontaneous side of the jazz spectrum.

Jim Reid says, "Hopefully people will 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."
