Primal Scream return on July 14th with ‘Can’t Go Back’, the exhilarating first single to be taken from their eagerly-anticipated new album ‘Beautiful Future’.
Produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party), ‘Can’t Go Back’ is a heady dose of brash future-rock, propelled along at light speed by an unstoppable bassline and Bobby Gillespie’s trademark snarl.
It’s a real breath of fresh air that serves as the perfect introduction to the new LP: their ninth studio album and their first for B-Unique.
'It¹s different from the last record and different from the record before that' explains Bobby Gilllespie.
'You know, there’s not one set Primal Scream song where it¹s verse-bridge-chorus-middle-eight. But this album is more like a pop record.'
A return to classic songwriting that sacrifices none of the band’s considerable swagger, ‘Beautiful Future’ features intriguing collaborations with the likes of Lovefoxx (CSS), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and British folk icon Linda Thompson.
‘Can’t Go Back’ also arrives hot on the heels of three huge summer festival appearances: Meltdown (with MC5, London, 24th June), Hop Farm (Kent, 6th July) and T in the Park (Kinross-shire, 13h July).
