Echoes And Rhymes

To mark the band's 40th anniversary, Elefant are thrilled to present the reissue of Echoes And Rhymes on striking white vinyl with yellow/red splatter. A brilliant collection of covers of 60s female gems that The Primitives made their own with jangle-pop spark, punk energy, and Tracy Tracy's unmistakable voice. All of the songs selected for the album were versions of songs by obscure, female-fronted groups from the sixties. Curiously, the album is a long way from suffering from disparateness; The Primitives knew how to make each and every one of the songs reflect and mesh with their electric personality. The result is a tremendously addictive album, seasoned with a sixties-halo that functions as a vindication and takes us directly to research every one of the (in some cases) little-known names that make up the details of its track-list. From garage to psychedelia, with touches of soul and sunshine pop, multiple styles come together, all revisited with love, affection and energy.
