Conflict is what defines The Jesus and Mary Chain’s career. It’s what drove the brothers Reid haphazardly through the spotlight over decades, and it’s what drove Psychocandy to encapsulate an ideal the brothers could never fully capture again - no matter whether they tried or not. It’s what drove an unhealthy marriage of proto-punk and pop music, apathetic morbidity set in the California beaches of 1965, trying too hard to look like they never tried hard enough. Yet there was never the sense of duality that Psychocandy encompassed, nor was there the sheer violence of the Reids’ will to record the album exactly as they wanted. It’s both a product of the sound and the personalities, but each collision of Jim Reid’s low register and William Reid’s explosive leads sounds like it could escalate into a brawl.

And thus we get Psychocandy (1985), the JAMC’s enduring contribution to the annals of rock history. Sometimes people tell you that a 20-year-old album sounded like nothing else, but when you listen with today’s ears, it seems rather quaint and unsurprising. Psychocandy is not one of those albums. Its noise isn’t the thick, tactile noise of the new millennium: It’s thin, trebly, and drowned in indistinct reverb, such that this record still sounds like it’s being played in the apartment across the street at staggering volume while someone intermittently runs glass through a table saw.

It wasn’t until the release of Psychocandy in November 1985 that the Jesus And Mary Chain’s musical objective came gloriously into view. The hype, hoopla and carnage generated by both the band and manager Alan McGee obscured the fact that they were not only radical sonic visionaries but masterful songwriters capable of creating a classic debut album that not only captured the mood of the age but would also stand the test time while creating a new template for rock & roll.
