Primal Scream – Come Ahead

Come Ahead is Primal Scream’s 12th full length record. 11 new songs that find Bobby Gillespie preparing to release some of the most personal songwriting of the band’s career. The songwriting process for ‘Come Ahead’ began in 2019. At which point Bobby Gillespie had no idea if he would make another Primal Scream album again.

 

For the first time, the lyrics came before the music. The story came first. Bobby wrote alone, using an acoustic guitar. Ideas flowed fast, in long bursts of inspiration. This process, in tandem with encouragement from producer David Holmes, provided a new way in. Working with Holmes and Primal Scream guitarist Andrew Innes, the ‘Come Ahead’ sessions were completed between Belfast, London and Los Angeles.
