Psychocandy

by The Jesus and Mary Chain

The Jesus and Mary Chain's landmark debut 'Psychocandy' is built on the revolutionary contrast between sweet, melodic pop structures inspired by 1960s girl groups and an uncompromising wall of abrasive guitar feedback and noise. Spearheaded by brothers Jim and William Reid, the album's distinct production envelops its traditional songwriting in cavernous reverb and layers of distortion, a pioneering sound that proved immensely influential on the subsequent shoegaze and alternative rock movements.
