In a milestone show, the band performed at Albert Hall the same day they released their first album of new material in 25 years
If you’re uninitiated with The Jesus and Mary Chain, probably the most important thing to know is this; despite what their name might suggest, at no point could they ever have been mistaken for choirboys. Over forty years ago now, two brothers from East Kilbride formed a band: William Reid on guitar, and the younger Jim as frontman.
As more critical acclaim followed in the years afterwards, from the melancholy indie rock of Darklands to the fizz and crackle of nineties LPs like Automatic and Stoned and Dethroned, the relationship between the Reids remained ever volatile, eventually culminating in a decidedly physical breakup after a brawl in Los Angeles in 1998. As Jim once quipped, “after every tour, we wanted to kill each other, and after the last one, we actually tried.
The adventurous bent extends to their recent output, too; the spacey ‘Chemical Animal’ is thick with quiet drama, recalling as it does lyrically the dog days of the band’s drug years. While ‘Venal Joy’, which soars after an initial false start, is an urgent punk anthem, one that evokes Primal Scream; after all, that band’s frontman, Bobby Gillespie, was once the Mary Chain’s drummer.
