Primal Scream brilliantly bridged the gap between indie rock and dance, nowhere better than on 1991’s Screamadelica return to Belfast this Autumn in support of the new album ‘More Light’. The album is another twist in the band’s history, produced by Northern Ireland’s own David Holmes and recorded after their recent successful worldwide tour of the afeorementioned hit album ‘Screamadelica’. ‘More Light’ presents a musical state that lacks boundaries. The album is released on 1st International Records and is out now. Primal Scream tickets for Belfast’s Limelight 1 shows are on sale from limelightbelfast.com and ticketmaster.ie.
Gillespie says “I’ve got to give Andrew Innes credit for a lot of the sounds and instrumentation. We always knew it wasn’t going to be a straight ahead, balls to the wall, high energy rock ‘n’ roll, two guitars, bass and drum record. It’s more sophisticated, layered, cinematic and orchestral and obviously working with Holmes we were hoping to make a record more in keeping with that vision. Holmes has got to get credit for allowing us to play like that and think like that and he also brought in some great musicians like horn players, the bass player and the percussionists.”
Guest artists on ‘More Light’ include Robert Plant, Mark Stewart of The Pop Group and Mafia and Davey Henderson formerly of The Fire Engines and now Sexual Objects. With former bassist Mani now back with the reformed Stone Roses most of the bass on the album has been played by Jason Faulkner an LA based musician who has worked with David Holmes before and with a variety of acts including Beck and Air.
All the songs on ‘More Light’ were written by Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes except ‘Goodbye Johnny’ (lyrics by Gun Club singer Jeffrey Lee Pierce) and ‘Turn Each Other Inside Out’ (lyrics from a poem by David Meltzer).
The sleeve is designed by renowned Glaswegian artist Jim Lambie.
On the album’s title Gillespie explained: “I’ve just got a thing about light. I’m quite sensitive to light and it just came and I thought ‘More Light is just a good title’. It’s kind of shining light on any kind of areas that are like normally dark or hidden away or places that things that people don’t want to talk about or embarrassed about or things they want to hide.
