As concert-goers of the world snap up earplugs by the bushel-load in anticipation of the Jesus and Mary Chain reunion, looks like we finally have some new material from the brothers Reid-- with sister!

Jim, William, and sibling Linda-- whose vocals grace JAMC Munki jam "Mo Tucker"-- have joined forces for the debut Sister Vanilla LP, Little Pop Rock. Scotland's Chemikal Underground will deliver the 12-track set-- some ten years in the making, from initial idea to recorded reality-- on April 2 in the UK and April 3 in the U.S.

True to its title, Little Pop Rock is a modest affair, drawing together fuzz and acoustic jangle from various points in the JAMC timeline into a tasty sonic milkshake, featuring vocals from all three Reids (with Linda taking centerstage). JAMC/Freeheat mainstay Ben Lurie rounds out the Sister Vanilla quartet.

Check out the Psychocandy-ready "Jamcolas" and sunshine anthem "Can't Stop the Rock" below.
