More Light is the tenth studio album by Scottish band Primal Scream, released on 13 May 2013. The single "It's Alright, It's OK" received airplay on national stations including BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and Absolute Radio and on music channel MTV Rocks, whilst it has also been played on a number of smaller stations including 106.9FM WHCR and Kingstown Radio. More Light received highly positive reactions from critics, and is perhaps their most critically acclaimed album since XTRMNTR. On Metacritic, the album has a score of 77 out of 100, based on 29 reviews. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph gave a positive review of the album, describing it as "mesmerising" and containing "big, monstrous, mantra-like, psychedelic grooves". He went on to add More Light should do much to restore Primal Scream’s reputation as one of the country’s most creative and ambitious rock bands. The music is dense yet uplifting, creating its own tensions with Gillespie’s dark, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Songs like 2013, Culturecide, Tenement Kid and Walking With The Beast convey an impression of a highly strung, heartfelt assault on the inequities of the modern world, before building to the euphoric gospel release of closing track "It’s Alright, It’s OK".

从八十年后半至今，英国独立音乐圈已经历了无数的音乐世代交替，所捧出能独领风骚一时的名字如恒河沙数，但真正能横跨十多个年头而声势不坠，又能不断在音乐上进行革新突破才最是难能可贵。而以主唱/创作灵魂Bobby Gillespie为首的格拉斯哥指针乐队Primal Scream，便是这样的核心代表之一。 无庸置疑，几经改组的Primal Scream在多年的音乐道路呈现不同阶段的探索突破。原为C86风潮一份子的Primal Scream，曾在80年代末以初生之犊的姿态带来两张分别受到The Byrds与MC5影响、典型截然不同之专辑《Sonic Flower Groove》与《Primal Scream》，但随后我们便见到他们在1991年带来一张激活吸纳Acid House/Ecstasy影响之Indie-Dance革命、在无数杂志的“90年代百张最佳专辑”中名列前矛的划时代经典大碟《Screamadelica》，刻划出创作上的折衷主义蓝图。从那时候开始，Primal Scream便已成为独立圈中以及自己心目中最不可或缺的重要乐队之一，每一次令乐迷望穿秋水而来的专辑――重投黑人灵魂乐/蓝调/摇滚乐根源的《Give Out But Don't Give Up》、乐队自己形容为一张“Psychedelic High-Energy Punk Rock'N'Roll Dub”唱片的《Vanishing Point》到拥有有史以来最强大客席阵容的《Exterminator》，也都能为乐队厘定出该阶段的新声音。彷佛，Primal Scream已成为九十年代中最具冒险精神与解构折衷意图的一个轴心指针。 今日Bobby年届四十同时已喜为人父，但千万不要就此认定这张2002年新作《Evil Heat》会趋向成熟软性的声音，反之Primal Scream要告诉大家他们一就是一队周身刀刃、破坏力满点的破格折衷乐队，并且在前Sabres Of Paradise主脑Andrew Weatherall、My Bloody Valentine灵魂人物Kevin Shields与The Aloof成员Jagz Kooner等多位已有数度合作经验之乐界猛将的跨刀下，继续出Primal Scream专利独享、将激进Punk意识与摩登电气化肌理共冶一炉的大无限Electronic-Punk方程式――首支单曲《Miss Lucifer》便已有如前作中《Swastika Eyes》般咄咄逼人，更遑论有前Noise-Pop著名独立乐队Jesus & Mary Chain主唱Jim Reid演绎的《Detroit》祭出Green Velvet式高压慑人的Tekno-Punk曲式，以及刺耳Distortion吉他音墙奔窜的Garage-Punk作品《Skull X》供输无与伦比的破坏动能。至于与名模Kate Moss合唱重新演绎Nacy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood旧作《Some Velvet Morning》，相信会是话题所在吧！

Primal Scream are a Scottish rock band originally formed in 1982 in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie and Jim Beattie. The band's current lineup consists of Gillespie, Andrew Innes, Martin Duffy, Simone Butler, and Darrin Mooney.
