The Jesus and Mary Chain “just started recording” their new album

The Jesus and Mary Chain have confirmed that they’re currently in the studio working on a new album. It’ll be the band’s first since 1998’s ‘Munki’. The Scottish band are currently touring to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their iconic album ‘Psychocandy’.

Speaking to DIY previously, the band’s frontman Jim Reid told Joe Goggins, “we actually are going to do another album, for what it’s worth. We’ve talked about it for quite a long time now, and we’ve argued about for quite a long time now, but we finally seem to be talking the same language. We haven’t recorded anything, but we’ve got a bunch of demos and we’re looking at starting to record it some time in the near future.”So there’s going to be another one, and hopefully soon.”

Now, speaking to Time Out New York, Jim Reid’s confirmed the band are currently in the studio. “We’re doing an album now,” he confirmed. “We actually just started recording. It’s early days, but I would say it’s a more mature sound for the Mary Chain. But let’s just wait and see.”
