THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN have released a stream of their new track 'Always Sad.' The song comes from the group's forthcoming album 'Damage and Joy'.

The new studio album, the group's first in 18 years, is set to be released on March 24th. The new track follows the release of the song 'Amputation,' late last year. Check out the new song below.

Fronted by the Reid brothers Jim and William, THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN first reformed to play the Coachella festival back in 2007. Despite regular touring - most notably a 2015 world tour which revisited their landmark album 'Psychocandy' - it took some time before they could agree on a plan to record a much-mooted seventh album.

Work on 'Damage and Joy' began in September 2015, with producer Youth also contributing bass and diplomacy to proceedings during sessions in London, Dublin and Granada, Spain. 

The album also features performances from the band's touring drummer Brian Young as well as former LUSH bassist Phil King.
