The Jesus and Mary Chain have shared “Girl 71,” the latest look into their forthcoming album, Glasgow Eyes. Stream it below.
Much like the two most recent singles released by Jim and William Reid, “Girl 71” is built around a steady drum beat, Jim Reid’s distinct, recognizable vocals, and buzzy instrumentals. But unlike its predecessors “Chemical Animal” or “jamcod,” “Girl 71” is strikingly upbeat, even if the lyrics aren’t always as bright. “You got me, you got nothing,” Jim Reid growls.
Glasgow Eyes is set to officially be released in full on March 22nd. While the band has been clear that this isn’t a full-on jazz record, they have been vocal about embracing elements of the genre during the creative process, particularly the freedom and lack of traditional discipline unique to jazz.

Scottish alternative rockers The Jesus and Mary Chain have shared “Chemical Animal,” the second single from their forthcoming album Glasgow Eyes. Stream it below.
“Chemical Animal” is unmistakably The Jesus and Mary Chain from its first few notes — with hazy atmospherics, singer Jim Reid’s husky baritone, and a drum beat that moves at a steady trot, the song hits all The Jesus and Mary Chain’s usual signifiers. A sense of darkness looms over the track, especially when Reid achingly croons “I fill myself with chemicals/ To hide the dark shit I don’t show” in the chorus. The song doesn’t so much fizzle out as it does burn slowly, with billowing guitars and synths that feel like black smoke rising through the air.
