Description:
Bobby Gillespie and Primal Scream. Names synonymous with the heady rock n roll lifestyle which epitomised the 90s. With a reputation for their off stage antics as much as their amazing live shows, Primal Scream have become a lasting symbol of excess, energy and most importantly, fantastic tracks.
Getting back to what REALLY made Primal Scream tick, the music, Bobby Gillespie and co have spent the last couple of years working on the follow up to one of their most successful albums to date (Riot City Blues '06). Beautiful Future is the result.

The first single ‘Can’t Go Back’, produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, The Rakes) is the kind of high energy rock’n’roll the band excel at, all kinetic drum beats and scuzzy guitar riffs, everything moving at methamphetamine rate. ‘Uptown’ sees the band tackling the Philly soul sound, privileging the rhythm section of Mooney and Mani, who’ve rarely sounded tighter. ‘Glory Of Love’ meanwhile, is delightful post-punk pop, complete with swooning strings and a chocolate box chorus.

The band up the ante with ‘Suicide Bomb’, Andrew Innes’ densely-layered guitar riffs coiling tightly round themselves, ‘Beautiful Summer’ a dark, melancholic track underscored by a haunting guitar signature and stately keyboard motif. Elsewhere, there’s a duet with CSS’ Lovefoxxx, ‘I Love To Hurt (You Love To Be Hurt)’ that’s full of shivering electro pulses and tense, claustrophobic rhythms.

Featuring guest appearances from the delightful Lovefoxx from CSS, Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age amongst others, ‘Beautiful Future’ is exactly what Bobby Gillespie has been aiming for.
