Chain again: JAMC confirm new album
Not only does 2008 hold out the prospect of new stuff from the Valentines, but that other candy-and-barbed-wire outfit, the Jesus and Mary Chain, will also be flinging out a new album:
The siblings are now whittling down dozens of new songs to 12 or so for the new album. They performed one track, "All Things Must Pass," this summer on "Late Show With David Letterman," and will appear early next year on the soundtrack to the hit NBC drama "Heroes." Another, "Dead End Kids," has been a fixture in the band's recent live sets.
"I would say it's an evolution," [William] Reid says of the new material, which he and his brother wrote separately. "It definitely sounds like the Mary Chain, but I guess you evolve as a person and a writer. You can't really stand still. If you do that, you're lost."

Here's that Letterman appearance, to help you decide if this is good news, or just last knockings:

The Youtube vid: Minus their dark and brooding image the band just come across as a incredibly boring. The bland and cliched nature of the song doesn't help much either. It sounds like Primal Scream without any ideas. May have been a little relevant, and dare I say it, challenging, in 1985, but it's simply passe today.
oh. i loved them so much. i sort of wish this did not happen
