"I Messiah, Am Jailer" was a single from Victory Parts, the second album by Scottish indie rockers AC Acoustics, a 1997 record that found the band moving on from their Jesus and Mary Chain-style noise toward a full-blown wall of sound. The press took to the album, and NME went further for this one, rating it among the most swoon-inducing noise-pop singles anybody had ever cut.
Andy Mason and Larry Primrose produced it, with Primrose and Kenny Paterson engineering and Richard Marsh handling the mix. The credits put Alan Brown and Roger Ward on guitars, Caz Riley on bass and David Gormley on percussion.
