Primal Scream will release the follow up to their critically acclaimed ‘MORE LIGHT’ album on March 18th. ‘CHAOSMOSIS’ is released on the band’s own First International label through Ignition Records via Warner Music NZ.
Recorded in London, New York and Stockholm and written and produced by Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes, ‘CHAOSMOSIS’ is quite possibly the freest-sounding album the band have ever made (their 11th studio effort in the better part of three decades) – 10 songs by turns angry and euphoric, personal and political, sounding like the distillation of so much that has come before plus a shot into the future.
“I think we’re getting better at writing songs and more confident and less self-conscious,” says Gillespie. “We’re better at letting things flow. Whereas 20 years ago, it was fucking painful trying to make a Primal Scream record, it was like hell. I’m clearer-headed now; I’m better expressing my feelings and what I want to say. I’m trying to make sense of my life, of the world, and I’m trying to put it into a pop song.”
Sharing the songwriting credits on three tracks (and production duties on those and a further two songs) is Björn Yttling, sometime bassist in Peter Björn and John, while other guests include Rachel Zeffira from Cat’s Eyes and the 23-year old Sky Ferreira.
The latter became friends with the band in LA after she first asked them to work on a record of hers, and duets with Gillespie on ‘Where the Light Gets In’, the exhilarating first single from the album. It features a chorus that another friend of the group, Noel Gallagher, told them late one recent night is the best they’ve written in years.
Of the same ilk, and featuring Haim, is ‘100% or Nothing’, a barnstorming raver, except with a lyric that screams devastation and dislocation, a song described by Andrew Innes as “kind of an electronic Northern soul record”. “That combination of sadness and joy, that’s what I love in music,” adds Gillespie. “With that, you can seduce people.”
The album
cover art is the work of friend and Turner
Prize shortlisted artist, Jim
Lambie, and as Gillespie says, “we work more like
artists than a rock band; jamming with a whole band to write
songs is not our way. We’ll have tracks full of riffs and
ideas, which Andrew and I will work up together, putting one
thing with another to create a song. We work very
instinctively – we go with what feels right.”
Or as
the Scream once also said before: don’t fight it, feel
it.
