The Primitives

14. THE PRIMITIVES

“Spin-O-Rama”

All these past few years of fresh-faced indie-pop darlings and incessant fuzz have led to this … a new album of originals by one of the originals, the Primitives.  Surely, fans of the Pains of Being Bleached Coast have heard their 1988 hit “Crash;” current Primitives (aka singer Tracy Tracy), singer-guitarist Paul Court, Raph Moore and Tig Williams return every bit as lovable, gushing pop choruses and infectious jangle all the way home. Hand claps, please, for this small but winning album, their first in 22 years. — K.B. [Stream on Spotify]
