Primal Scream is set to release new album More Light on June 18. 

The 13-track collection of new songs – the band’s first LP in five years – was written by Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes and produced by David Holmes. It features guest appearances from Robert Plant, Kevin Shields and Jason Faulkner.
 

"Elimination Blues" is the track with vocals from Robert Plant.

Says, Bobby Gillespie, “I wanted to convey coming out of a dark time and into a good one...We always knew it wasn’t going to be a straight ahead, balls to the wall, high energy rock ‘n’ roll, two guitars, bass and drum record. It’s sophisticated, layered, cinematic and orchestral; obviously working with Holmes we were hoping to make a record more in keeping with that vision.”

The album sleeve was designed by 2005 Turner Prize nominee Jim Lambie. 

Primal Scream in 2013 are: Bobby Gillespie, Andrew Innes, Martin Duffy, Darrin Mooney, Barrie Cadogan and Simone Butler.
