Bobby Gillespie and Jehnny Beth have teamed up for new album ‘Utopian Ashes’

Joining forces for a new collaborative album, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and Jehnny Beth have announced their new record ‘Utopian Ashes’, set for release on 2nd July.

“In the same way you create characters for a novel, we’ve created characters here,” says Jehnny Beth. “But you put yourself in it, because you’re trying to understand the human situation. The singing has to be authentic. That’s all that matters.”

“When you write a song you marry the personal with the fictional and make art,” adds Bobby. “I was thinking about two people living alone, together but apart, existing and suffering in a psychic malaise, who plough on because of responsibilities and commitments. It’s about the impermanence of everything — an existential fact that everyone has to face at some point in their lives.”
