Nov 16, 2016 By Christopher Roberts The Jesus and Mary Chain

Scottish icons The Jesus and Mary Chain haven’t released a studio album since 1998’s Munki, but last year they were found touring their classic 1985-released debut album Psychocandy, performing it in full in honor of its 30th anniversary. Frontman Jim Reid also revealed in an interview last year with Time Out New York that the band was working on a new album, saying it was “a more mature sound for the Mary Chain.” Now Creation Records founder and the band’s manager, Alan McGee, has said in an interview with CBC that the band’s new album is due out next March on Warner Bros., saying: “They’ve made another album! It’s a big deal! It’s unbelievable. They’ve just made an album and I’ve signed them to Warners!” The album hasn’t been officially announced yet, but if this is 100% confirmed it’ll be pretty exciting and will be the band’s first album in 19 years.
