The Jesus and Mary Chain begin work on first album in over 17 years
The Scottish act The Jesus and Mary Chain have begun recording a brand new album, and that more than 17 years after they finished recording 1998’s “Munki”. The band who reunited in 2007 broke up in 1999 after tensions between Jim and William Reid had come to a climax. “After each tour we wanted to kill each other, and after the final tour we tried” the band was quoted saying.
Not that the band has respected completely studio silence since 2007. In March 2008, the band released a studio recording of “All Things Must Pass” on the soundtrack album to the NBC television drama “Heroes”. That was the first new song to be released by the Jesus and Mary Chain since 1998.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
