The Primitives – Lovely

Another power pop spin since on I’m on a tip now – this time UK 80’s.

I bought this from Porthole in 2019 after a pub lunch with my friend. I’d been listening to their singles album on my train commutes to work. The majority of this is straight up reverby lush power pop tracks which I love. But four tracks in to the album it takes a strange turn where someone’s had an idea in the band to get some Indian drums and end the first side with this slowish psychedelic track. It’s not bad, but it is a tad awkward and does sit oddly against the rest of the album. I don’t know what the fuck they were thinking.

I saw they were made famous by Morrissey wearing a Primitives tshirt back in the day. That's not a claim to fame now sadly.
