Barbed Wire Kisses (B-Sides and More)

by The Jesus and Mary Chain

Barbed Wire Kisses (B-Sides and More) cover art

Bridging the gap between the feedback-drenched assault of their debut and the cleaner production of 'Darklands', this extensive compilation gathers essential B-sides and rarities. The tracks consistently showcase the Reid brothers' primary aesthetic: hiding immaculate, Beach Boys-inspired pop melodies beneath agonizing walls of abrasive guitar noise. Often matching or surpassing their studio albums in quality, the collection stands as a crucial pillar in the development of the British shoegaze movement.
