PRIMAL SCREAM’S BEAUTIFUL FUTURE
NEW ALBUM RELEASED JULY 21ST 2008 ON B-UNIQUE
1ST SINGLE, CAN’T GO BACK OUT JULY 14TH 2008

’BEAUTIFUL FUTURE’ is Primal Scream’s ninth studio album and their first for B-Unique. The bulk of the album was produced by Björn Yttling [Peter, Björn and John] and Paul Epworth (Bloc Party) including the incredible first single ‘Can’t Go Back’ out July 14th.

The album features guest collaborations from Lovefoxx of CSS, Josh Homme from Queens Of the Stone Age and folk legend Linda Thompson. As you would expect from one of Britain’s most exciting and inventive bands ‘BEAUTIFUL FUTURE’ displays a heady mix of genre crunching taking in Philly soul, dark electro, accelerated rock¹n¹roll riffs and pure British pop all given that particular Scream edge. *

“If you hear this new record of ours from start to finish,” explains Bobby Gillespie, ”and you hear all the different sounds and styles and moods, atmospheres and instrumentation that we use, it¹s different from the last record and different from the record before that. You know, there¹s not one set Primal Scream song where it¹s verse-bridge-chorus-middle-eight. But this album is more like a pop record, more like classic songwriting.”

Highlights include the single ‘Can¹t Go Back’, which is the
kind of high energy rock¹n¹roll the band excel at, all kinetic drum beats
and scuzzy guitar riffs, everything moving at methamphetamine rate.
Elsewhere, there¹s a duet with CSS¹ Lovefoxxx, ‘I Love To Hurt (You Love To Be Hurt)’ that¹s full of shivering electro pulses and tense, claustrophobic rhythms. Lovefoxx isn¹t the only guest to appear on the album, joining Bobby on a duet of Fleetwood Mac¹s ‘Over And Over’ is legendary British folk singer Linda Thompson, while Queens Of The Stone Age¹s Josh Homme contributes guitar to the album¹s closing track ‘Necro Hex Blues’.

Forthcoming live dates:
25th June- ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL, London (with MC5)
6th July – HOP FARM, Kent (special guest Neil Young)
13th July – T IN THE PARK, Kinross-shire Scotland
