Automatic is the third album by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. It was recorded at 1989 in Sam Therapy, West London and released on October 9, 1989 by Blanco y Negro Records.
The group on this record is basically the core duo of brothers William and Jim Reid with a drum machine providing percussion and even a synthesizer filling in on bass guitar. The only other credited musician was Richard Thomas who joined the touring version of The Jesus and Mary Chain as a drummer. Thomas drummed on "Gimme Hell" and was a former member of Dif Juz. He also made appearances on Cocteau Twins' 1986 Victorialand LP and This Mortal Coil's 1986 Filigree & Shadow.
