Primal Scream / Come Ahead

Primal Scream will release a new studio album called Come Ahead, in November.

The 11-track album is produced by David Holmes and the during the songwriting process Bobby Gillespie found himself writing alone, using an acoustic guitar, with lyrics coming before the music, for the first time. You can preview Love Insurrection, below

The album artwork features a photograph of Bobby’s late father, Robert Gillespie Snr, and was created by artist Jim Lambie.

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. 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.

Bobby Gillespie.

Described as featuring “some of the most personal songwriting of the band’s career” the sessions were completed between Belfast, London and Los Angeles with guitarist Andrew Innes and Holmes.

Come Ahead will be released on 8 November, via BMG.
