Primal Scream share latest ‘Come Ahead’ preview ‘Deep Dark Waters’

The evocative new single acts as a word of warning against our world’s current unsettling trajectory.

Primal Scream share new single 'Deep Dark Waters' from forthcoming album 'Come Ahead'

Having confirmed this summer that they’ll be returning with their first new album in eight years (entitled ‘Come Ahead’, to be released on 8th November via BMG), Primal Scream have now shared the record’s second single, ‘Deep Dark Waters’. 

The successor to 2016’s ‘Chaosmosis’, ‘Come Ahead’ promises, according to a press release, some of the most personal songwriting of frontman Bobby Gillespie’s career to date.

Influenced by the work of Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi, this vital latest track explores the beneath the surface darkness of the modern world, and has been described by Gillespie as “contain[ing] a warning from history. “Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it”.”

‘Deep Dark Waters’ follows the release of lead single ‘Love Insurrection’, and has arrived accompanied by visuals directed by renowned filmmaker and frequent Primal Scream collaborator Douglas Hart (who first met Gillespie when drumming for The Jesus and Mary Chain). Watch the track’s official video below. 

‘Come Ahead’ tracklisting:
1. Ready To Go Home
2. Love Insurrection
3. Heal Yourself
4. Innocent Money
5. Melancholy Man
