New Jesus & Mary Chain album ‘due in March’

The Jesus & Mary Chain‘s new album is due out in the spring and ‘kinda enormous’, according to Alan McGee.

The Mary Chain have been gradually expanding the scope of their return since the start of Psychocandy celebrations over three years ago, and first spoke of recording a brand new album in February 2015 when Jim Reid told NME: “We’ve got the material, we’ve talked about doing an album for so long now.”

Now, in an interview with CBC Music, McGee has revealed they are newly signed up to Warner Music with a view to releasing the album during the first quarter of 2017. “They’ve made another album, it’s a big deal,” he said. “It’s unbelievable. They’ve just made an album and I’ve signed them to Warners.”

“New album coming. It’s coming out end of next March. It’s kinda enormous!”
