The Jesus and Mary Chain, the band led by the Reid brothers, have announced that they are working on their first new album since 1998; year in whcih the band released their last LP, 'Monki'.

Frontman Jim Reid told Time Out New York."We’re doing an album now. We actually just started recording," and added "It’s early days, but I would say it’s a more mature sound for the Mary Chain. But let’s just wait and see."

The group - reformed in 2007 - embarked on a tour last year and this 2015 celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their album 'Psychocandy'.
