Post-punk and pro-confusion, Psychocandy became the sound of a generation poised on the brink of revolution, establishing Creation Records as a tastemaking entity in the process. The Scottish band's notorious live performances were both punishingly loud and riot-spurring, inevitably acting as socio-political commentary on tensions emergent in mid-1980s Britain. Through caustic clangs and feedback channeling the rage of the working-class who'd had enough, Psychocandy gestures toward the perverse pleasure in having your eardrums exploded and loudness as a politics within itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet Psychocandy's blackened candy heart center – calling out to phantoms Candy and Honey with an unsettling charm – makes it a pop album to the core, and not unlike the sugarcoated sounds the Ronettes became famous for in the 1960s. The Jesus and Mary Chain expertly carved out a place where depravity and sweetness entwined, emerging from the isolating underground of suburban Scotland grasping the distinct sound of a generation, apathetic and uncertain. The irresistible Psychocandy emerged as a clairvoyant account of struggle and sweetness that still causes us to grapple with pop music's relation to ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Taste the Floor\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Never Understand\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Just Like Honey\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: In a Hole\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Sowing Seeds\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Taste of Cindy\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Some Candy Talking\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: My Little Underground\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight: The Living End\u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine: Cut Dead\u003cbr\u003eChapter Ten: Inside Me\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eleven: It's So Hard\u003cbr\u003eChapter Twelve: Something's Wrong\u003cbr\u003eChapter Thirteen: The Hardest Walk\u003cbr\u003eChapter Fourteen: You Trip Me Up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished: Oct 20 2016\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 1st\u003cbr\u003ePages: 136\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781628929508\u003cbr\u003eImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 6 x 5 inches\u003cbr\u003eSeries: 33 1\/3\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55857015456066,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/9781628929508.jpg?v=1786215070","url":"https:\/\/steadfastrecords.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-jesus-and-mary-chains-psychocandy-33-1-3-series-paula-mejia-softcover-book","provider":"Steadfast Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
