Damage and Joy is the seventh studio album by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. It was released on 24 March 2017 by Artificial Plastic Records. It is the group's first album in 19 years, and marks their first collaboration with producer Youth.
Some of the songs had appeared previously in a different form. "Song for a Secret" and "Amputation" had been released by Jim Reid, the latter as a solo single in 2007 under the title "Dead End Kids". "Can't Stop the Rock" was previously released by Jim and William Reid's sister Linda under the stage name Sister Vanilla, while "The Two of Us", "Get on Home" and "Facing Up to the Facts" were previously released in a different form by Freeheat, a band which Jim formed during the band's hiatus, following the split after the release of the album Munki in 1998.
All tracks written by William Reid and Jim Reid. All tracks produced by Youth, except "Mood Rider" and "Simian Split", produced by The Jesus and Mary Chain.
