Psychocandy 1985 Album

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Psychocandy is sexy as hell. That's the only way I can describe it. When I read the lyrics of Just Like Honey for the first time, I was struck by how dangerous, abrasive, and dark, yet also how smooth, sexy, and oddly pleasant it was as a song. The rest of the album follows suit, with a mix of catchy melodies and distorted guitars. You'd think it would clash horribly, but it all works together surprisingly well. Sure, there are a few songs that lean too heavily towards the smooth side (looking at you, My Little Underground and Cut Dead), but overall this is an excellent album that makes me want to do some shit that's just as dangerous and sexy as this album.
