Primal Scream are back with a new album, Come Ahead, their first in eight years. The follow-up to Chaosmosis arrives November 8 via BMG. “Love Insurrection” leads the record; listen to the single below.
Bobby Gillespie said in a press release, “I’m very excited about this album in a way that you would be making your first record. If there was an overall theme to Come Ahead it might be one of conflict, whether inner or outer. There is also a thread of compassion running through the album. The title is a Glaswegian term. If someone threatens to fight you, you say, ‘come ahead!’ It’s redolent of the indomitable spirit of the Glaswegian, and the album itself shares that aggressive attitude and confidence. They have a word for this up there, gallus. Come Ahead’s quite a cheeky title too.”
David Holmes produced the LP, rejoining the band after 2013’s More Light. It is the band’s first record since the death, in 2022, of Martin Duffy, who had played on all of their records since Screamadelica, but grew apart from the band over a rights dispute.
