Since their landmark 1985 debut Psychocandy, the Jesus and Mary Chain thrived on the familial tension between William and Jim Reid, the brothers at the heart of the band. The friction that spurred their artistry during their heyday ultimately proved to be their undoing, culminating in a notorious onstage implosion at the House of Blues Los Angeles in September 1998. The Reids finally immortalize that incident in “jamcod,” the first single from Glasgow Eyes, an album that answers the question: What would a harmonious Jesus and Mary Chain sound like?
Glasgow Eyes is only the second album of new material the band has released since reuniting in 2007. After nearly a decade apart, the Reids mended fences so they could headline Coachella, then spent another 10 years figuring out how to move forward as a creative unit. They reemerged in 2017 with Damage and Joy, co-produced with Youth, whom the Reids hired because they believed they might need a mediator. Damage and Joy offered a spruced-up spin on the JAMC’s signature blend of rock sleaze and dreamy drones—evidence the group could still deliver new material yet suggesting they could be in danger of recycling past ideas. The Reid brothers opted to push back against looming stagnation by producing Glasgow Eyes themselves, revitalizing their rock’n’roll by focusing on synthesizers, not stompboxes.
