The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy

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 and establishing Creation Records as a taste making entity in the process. In this book, Paula Mejia analyzes both the socio-political tensions of mid-1980s UK as well as Psychocandy's blackened candy heart center, telling the story of how a group of working class boys from East Kilbride came together to record an album where depravity and sweetness intertwine, creating a sound of a generation poised on the brink of revolution.
