The Story So Far:Freeheat

Artist: Freeheat

Album: Back On The Water

Appears On (Mixes): Aila's Mp3 Of The Week

Song Notes: Freeheat is the band that Jim Reid and Ben Lurie formed just before the end of The Jesus And Mary Chain. This is taken from their "new" record, released last week. I say "new" because the studio tracks (5 or 6?) were actually recorded way back in 1997, before the end of The Jesus And Mary Chain, but the album is augmented by about ten live tracks from 2003. It's all good stuff though, especially for someone like me who has been a huge Jesus And Mary Chain fan for years. Other than the Sister Vanilla record from last year (which did actually feature both Reid brothers, and Ben Lurie, as well as Linda Reid of course - since it's her band), this is the closest thing to a new Jesus and Mary Chain record we're likely to see anytime soon... -AIlas
