“It’s a staggering, swaggering achievement more vital than anything they’ve done in the last 35 years.” 10/10 – Record Collector
“As dynamic and engaged as their incendiary debut.” – The Times
“Electrifying.” **** – MOJO
“Two angry young men from East Kilbride have grown up and chilled out. That maturity has given their dark and droning alternative pop a striking new lease of life.” **** – i
‘Glasgow Eyes’ is up there with the band’s finest material… It’s wry, sardonic, humorous at times, and as world weary as the JAMC have always been – and is all the more brilliant for it.” – Backseat Mafia

After receiving overwhelming critical acclaim which has drawn glowing comparisons with their classic debut ‘Psychocandy’, The Jesus and Mary Chain release their brand new album ‘Glasgow Eyes’ via Fuzz Club.
Anticipation for ‘Glasgow Eyes’ has been at fever pitch as the band – brothers Jim and William Reid – unveiled the singles ‘jamcod’, ‘Chemical Animal’ and ‘Girl 71’, in the process earning airplay from Sir Elton John, Huw Stephens and a 6 Music playlist alongside a spread of streaming support and editorial coverage.
Produced by the Reid brothers at Mogwai’s Castle of Doom studio in Glasgow, the rest of the album more than lives up to expectations. The new focus track ‘Silver Strings’ is a prime example, a song which inspired MOJO to imagine, “JAMC as the house band at a David Lynch sad disco.”
While multiple vinyl copies of ‘Glasgow Eyes’ sold-out in advance, a range of physical formats are still available HERE.
Having debuted select songs from the album at intimate shows this week, tonight sees The Jesus and Mary Chain’s extensive headline tour get underway with a sold-out Manchester show at the Albert Hall, with two London shows at the Roundhouse also on the horizon. Remaining tickets are available HERE.
The long-awaited ‘Never Understood’ biography has also just been launched and is available to pre-order HERE ahead of its release on August 15th. It sees William and Jim tell the full story of one of Britain’s greatest guitar bands for the very first time – a wildly funny and improbably moving chronicle of brotherly strife, feedback, riots, drug and alcohol addiction, eternal outsiders and extreme shyness, that also somehow manages to be a love letter to the Scottish working-class family. Limited edition Record Store and White Rabbit formats follow on September 5th, the latter of which includes an exclusive LP featuring extracts from the book narrated by each brother.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
