The Jesus and Mary Chain´s Psychocandy ( 33 1/3 )

The Jesus and Mary Chain´s swooning debut Psychocandy seared through the underground and to the top of the pop charts, shifting the role of noise within pop music forever. Post-punk and pro-confusion, Psychocandy became the sound of a generation poised on the brink of revolution, establishing Creation Records as a taste making entity in the process. Drawing from the sweetness of ´60s girl groups, The Stooges´ masochistic stage antics and Lou Reed´s feedback-laced guitar swells, The Jesus and Mary Chain expertly carved out a place where depravity and sweetness entwined, emerging from the isolating underground of suburban Scotland grasping the distinct sound of a generation, apathetic and uncertain.
