Primal Scream - Chaosmosis, album review: ‘lacks a distinctive voice’

Bobby Gillespie is not a man to repeat himself – unless, of course, he’s recounting his druggy excesses, or using a 25-year-old photo of himself on a record cover.

But certainly his musical outfit Primal Scream have built a 34(!)-year career on a chameleonic adaptability.

Their 11 albums have veered from acid house to gospel, dub to punk, retro to fluoro and now – surprisingly – to pop. Chaosmosis is strong on electronic spangles, synthy choruses, a surprise guest (hi, Sky Ferreira!) and wholesale steals from past legends (hi, Parliament!).
