The Jesus and Mary Chain recently released a new album Damage and Joy, their first since 1998’s Munki.

Now they have shared the trippy new visuals for their new single, ‘Mood Rider’ – a laconic, dreamy song which lays off the searing feedback in favour of a more pop sound. It’s a great song, and proves the brothers Reid have still got it.

“The interesting thing about this record is what comes out of the speakers”, said Jim Reid. “To make a good record is an achievement if you’re twenty-two, but to do it in your fifties, the way we are, I think is a minor miracle.”
