Jesus and Mary Chain Sunset 666 (Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Red 2LP)

Recorded at the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles in 2018, ‘Sunset 666’ is a new live album from The Jesus and Mary Chain, due out August 4th 2023 on Fuzz Club. In 1990, a young American band, full of a precise kind of noise and darkness, were special guests on the US tour being undertaken by a group who had noise and darkness, poise and catharsis of their own. The young band: Nine Inch Nails. Those headliners: The Jesus and Mary Chain. Almost thirty years later, an invitation was extended. Would the Reid brothers care to reverse the roles and open for Nine Inch Nails on their own North American tour? Trent Reznor had been a fan of the Mary Chain, and influenced by them since hearing 'Psychocandy', so it felt a good fit and the Reid brothers accepted.The resulting tour ended with a run of six shows at LA’s Hollywood Palladium and the seventeen tracks captured on the ‘Sunset 666’ double album were recorded from the desk on two of those nights. Sides A, B and C are from the final show, December 15. Those twelve songs were the full set that night, in sequence, meaning the show began with the here-we-f*cking-go drums of ‘Just Like Honey’ and ended with the ferocious euphoria of an eight-and-a-half minute ‘Reverence’. Side D of the vinyl record is taken from the December 11 show and serves almost as a mini-showcase of the ‘Automatic’ album, featuring versions of ‘Blues From A Gun’, ‘Between Planets’ and ‘Halfway To Crazy’.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, de Schotse pioniers van noise pop en shoegaze, hebben altijd een reputatie gehad voor hun intense en onvoorspelbare live-optredens. Sunset 666 legt de rauwe energie en melodieuze chaos van de band perfect vast tijdens een Hollywood Palladium-show uit 2018. Deze opname toont de band op het hoogtepunt van hun kunnen, ondersteund door hun touring band en met gastvocalen van Isobel Campbell. Het album biedt een dwarsdoorsnede van hun invloedrijke carrière, van klassiekers als 'Just Like Honey' tot recenter werk. Een essentieel live-document van een van de meest iconische alternatieve bands. De muziek van The Jesus and Mary Chain op dit album omvat alternatieve rock, noise pop en shoegaze. Hun kenmerkende geluid combineert zoete popmelodieën met schurende gitaarfeedback en een donkere, melancholische sfeer. 2xLP Gatefold hoes Gekleurd vinyl (Opaque Red) Hoge geluidskwaliteit
