The Jesus and Mary Chain Announce First New Album in 18 Years

The Jesus and Mary Chain haven’t released a new album in 18 years. Last year, the band’s Jim Reid said they were working on a new album, and last month Creation Records’ Alan McGee said it would be out in March. Today, they’ve officially announced Damage and Joy, their first album since 1998’s Munki. It’s out March 24 via ADA/Warner Music. Damage and Joy was recorded with producer Youth (who also contributed bass). The album also features performances from the band’s touring drummer Brian Young and former Lush bassist Phil King. Find the tracklisting and cover art below. The first track from the album, “Amputation,” will premiere on Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 Music radio show this evening. See a trailer below.
