In this introspective and revealing episode of The Mixtape, we sit down with Jim Reid, co-founder and frontman of the legendary noise-pop pioneers The Jesus and Mary Chain, for a candid conversation on the band’s past, present, and sonic evolution.

Jim discusses the creation of the band’s critically acclaimed new album Glasgow Eyes, a record that channels their signature distortion-drenched sound while embracing new textures and lyrical depth. We explore the story behind their explosive on-stage breakup at the House of Blues, the emotional fallout, and the slow road to rebuilding both music and brotherhood.

We also talk about the recent autobiography, diving into what it was like to reflect on decades of chaos, creativity, and conflict. Jim shares unfiltered thoughts on fame, the demise of "the band" as a musical entity and how The Jesus and Mary Chain carved their place in music history by never playing by the rules.

As always, we close the episode with our signature segment: Jim curates a personal mixtape playlist—a handpicked selection of the artists and songs that shaped his distinct sound and inspired his musical rebellion.

Tune in for an episode full of distortion, reflection, and the enduring power of sonic defiance—told by one of alternative music’s most iconic voices.
