One of the most influential bands ever to come out of the UK, The Jesus & Mary Chain, recently announced they are ready to release their first new album in almost two decades next year. Their first piece of new music in a decade, a new single entitled ‘Amputation’.
Fans of the band will likely be struck by how similar in style and sound ‘Amputation’ is to the band’s early and mid-’90s, post-Psychocandy output. The song could pass for a cut off the band’s warmly received 1992 album, Honey’s Dead, with its walls of guitar noise paired with a mechanical-sounding drum loop.
Creation Records, the iconic UK label that signed the band in 1984 and put out their first single, Alan McGee, the band’s manager and the founder of Creation Records, said, “It’s a big deal! It’s unbelievable. They’ve just made an album and I’ve signed them to Warners!” “The Jesus And Mary Chain will be dropping their new record March 2017.. on Warners the label wrote. The band, who have not released an album since 1998’s Munki, have dubbed their first album in some 18 years Damage And Joy. .
