Glasgow Eyes is the eighth studio album by Scottish alternative rock band the Jesus and Mary Chain.
The band recorded Glasgow Eyes at Mogwai's Castle of Doom Studios in Glasgow.
Jim Reid stated that the album is certainly what people expect of a Jesus and Mary Chain record. Coinciding with their 40th band anniversary, he said that their creative approach is the same as it was in 1984: "just hit the studio and see what happens". They started recording a bunch of songs and let it take its course. Reid clarified that there were no rules as they share a form of telepathy, calling him and his brother "those weird not-quite twins that finish each other's sentences". The duo went into the studio and felt their way around operating by the same old deal, however, contemporary music had some sort of impact on the production values. They messed around with some synths and tweaked the sound a bit.
The lead single "Jamcod" was released alongside the album announcement. Leaning on "their barbed electronic aspects", it showcases William Reid's synth skills and combines "dark electronica with some crunching guitars".
