The Jesus and Mary Chain's swooning debut Psychocandy seared
through the underground and through 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
tastemaking entity in the process. The Scottish band's notorious
live performances were both punishingly loud and riot-spurring,
inevitably acting as socio-political commentary on tensions
emergent in mid-1980s Britain. Through caustic clangs and feedback
channeling the rage of the working-class who'd had enough,
Psychocandy gestures toward the perverse pleasure in having your
eardrums exploded and loudness as a politics within itself. Yet
Psychocandy's blackened candy heart center - calling out to
phantoms Candy and Honey with an unsettling charm - makes it a pop
album to the core, and not unlike the sugarcoated sounds the
Ronettes became famous for in the 1960s. 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. The irresistible Psychocandy emerged as a clairvoyant
account of struggle and sweetness that still causes us to grapple
with pop music's relation to ourselves.
