Psychocandy is the debut album by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain, released in November 1985 . Psychocandy utilised the then-radical notion of combining simple pop tunes, à la The Beach Boys, with searing guitar noise more akin to The Velvet Underground.

The album is considered to be a landmark recording, frequently appearing in "best-ever" album lists, such as Q magazine's list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever, where it placed at number 88 in 2000. In 2003, the album was ranked number 268 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Allmusic described the album as one that "created a movement without meaning to."

Darklands is the second album by Scottish alternative band The Jesus and Mary Chain. Unlike their previous album, drum machines were used in place of drummer Bobby Gillespie, who had left to pursue a successful career as the frontman with Primal Scream. The album marks a turning point in the band's music, going from the savage noise-pop of Psychocandy, to a more melodic Indie/Alternative rock sound.

Gillespie and Primal Scream later recorded a cover of the album's title track.

Lead vocals are by Jim Reid, with the exception of "Darklands," "Nine Million Rainy Days" and "On the Wall," sung by William Reid.
