Primal Scream reveal all about new album

Primal Scream have gone back to basics their eighth studio album.Recalling the -influenced sounds of their mid-90s efforts, singer Bobby Gillespie and his band have turned their back on the sonic experimentations of recent albums, and instead rely on a gonzo live sound approach.
�I think we�re one of the best live bands in the world and I wanted to capture that,� Gillespie told NME.COM of the shift in styles. �The last two albums we�ve been loops and drum machines, for this record we wrote euphoric rock n roll songs and I wanted to capture that euphoria and I think we did it. It was a great time making it, fucking great!�
The raw approach has triggered speculation the band have fallen out with My Bloody Valentine mainman and recent collaborator Kevin Shields � and even Primal Scream themselves are currently unsure of the situation.�What people need to understand is that Kevin only played with us live,� explained Gillespie. �He mixed a lot of songs but he never played guitar on the albums, people think he was playing on records but he was playing live. Is Shields still involved? I don�t know, he didn�t play at the last gig in Glasgow three weeks ago. He never made that gig because he was working on a Sophia Coppola movie, so I don�t really know.�Tracks set to appear on the album include 'Nitty Gritty�, �Boogie Disease� and forthcoming single 'Country Girl' (due out May 22).
With the album mixed by Oasis producer Dave Sardy in Los Angeles � bringing the album in at a cool 20 days � guests include Alison Mosshart from The Kills who sings backing vocals, Echo And The Bunnymen guitarist Will Sergeant and Nick Cave collaborator Warren Ellis who �plays fiddle� on �Hell�s Coming Down�.Currently the untitled album is due out on June 5, with Primal Scream due to play several festivals this summer.
