Scottish icons The Jesus and Mary Chain released a new album, Damage and Joy, back in March via ADA/Warner Music. Last night the band stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform “The Two of Us.” They were joined by Sky Ferreira on the duet. Watch the performance below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Damage and Joy is their first in 19 years and of course features founding members and brothers Jim and William Reid. Former Lush bassist Phil King, who has long been touring with The Jesus and Mary Chain, also plays on the record, as does JAMC’s touring drummer Brian Young. Youth produced the album and also plays bass on it.

The Jesus and Mary Chain haven’t released a studio album since 1998’s Munki, but in recent years they were found touring their classic 1985-released debut album Psychocandy, performing it in full in honor of its 30th anniversary.
