Darklands is the second album by Scottish alternative rock 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 noise-pop of Psychocandy to a more melodic indie/alternative sound. Gillespie later recorded a cover version of the album's title track with Primal Scream.
