Indie darlings The Primitives have confirmed details of their new EP 'Never Kill A Secret', first new music in 19 years.
Emerging from the late 80s indie scene, The Primitives combined impeccable influences with a real pop touch. Scoring a hit with 'Crash' the band's debut album references everything from Spector-esque pop to The Velvets. The band split in 1992.
Headlining the Indietracks festival last year, the band began working on a new EP last year. 'Never Kill A Secret' is set to be released on physical and digital formats on March 7th via Fortuna Pop. Containing new material and a cover of a Northern Soul classic, this new EP ends two decades of silence in some style.
The EP will feature the songs “Rattle My Cage,” “Need All the Help I Can Get,” “Never Kill a Secret” and “Breakaway.” In an interview last summer, Court described two of those songs, calling the title track “a cute little heart melter,” and characterizing “Rattle My Cage” as “a fuzzified girlpop stomper.”
The Primitives have also confirmed details of a nationwide tour to coincide with the EP. Opening in Southampton, the tour hits Glasgow on March 20th before travelling down to London.
