The Jesus and Mary Chain have returned with new single “Pop Seeds” the track is off the band’s album Glasgow Eyes, now available via Fuzz Club. The legendary Scottish band are hitting the road, starting September 29th in Philadelphia, PA.

Named in reference to the original band name they briefly shared over forty years ago, “Pop Seeds” is a nostalgic evocation of the shared psychic landscape which led to the formation of The Jesus and Mary Chain, and which Jim and William depict in their new memoir Never Understood.

“Pop Seeds” follows Understood biography, the book sees William and Jim Reid tell the full story of the bands for the very first time – a wildly funny and improbably moving chronicle of brotherly strife, feedback, riots, drug and alcohol addiction, eternal outsiders and extreme shyness, that also somehow manages to be a love letter to the Scottish working-class family.

Never Understood will also be released in two limited edition formats. The Record Store Edition will feature alternate artwork and will be housed in a bespoke slipcase packaged, all designed by William Reid. It will be limited to 1500 copies and will be released on October 3rd. The White Rabbit Edition follows on November 21st, which adds a 12” vinyl featuring audiobook extracts and four exclusive postcards. Each copy of the 500-run pressing will be signed by both William and Jim Reid.
