Give Out but Don’t Give Up

Primal Scream

A hard pivot into Memphis soul and Stonesy swagger. Gritty, horn-drenched rock and roll recorded in the heat of the American South.

The Scream go to Memphis to play at being the Rolling Stones, and honestly, they pull it off.

A high-octane cocktail of rock-and-roll swagger and bleary-eyed morning-after soul.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, cowbell-driven opening riff of Rocks that immediately signals a departure from their electronic past.
The weary, country-soul slide guitar and George Clinton's unexpected presence on the title track.
The way the gospel choir lifts the ending of I'll Be There for You into a genuine spiritual crescendo.
