Primal Scream have released two new songs from their upcoming album ‘Come Ahead’

Primal Scream have released two new songs, ‘Ready To Go Home’ and ‘The Centre Cannot Hold’.

They’re taken from their forthcoming album ‘Come Ahead’. The new album, due out on 8th November via BMG, marks Primal Scream’s first studio album since 2016.

Bobby Gillespie says of ‘Ready To Go Home’: “It’s dark, but it’s also up, full of humour. After I wrote it, I sang it to my dad the night before he died. It was just me and him in the hospital. His body had given up. I think, when you get old and tired and your body just goes, “I’ve had enough. Time to go.” I was trying to write about that feeling, I don’t know why – maybe I was feeling tired myself. Sometimes I do. When I wrote this song I was thinking, there must be a point in your life where you think, time to go home.’

Of ‘The Centre Cannot Hold’, he adds: “I have no idea what inspired this song. Is it poking a withering finger at the “lifestyle” delusion? Is it a satire about the new religion of wellness? Well, the verses, at least. Is it a joyful mocking of lovers drowning in their own narcissism? Is it an attack on the extreme centre of political discourse? Or is it about the impossibility of truly knowing another person? We live behind so many masks.”
