Primitives - Reworked By Modular

Limited 7" vinyl single. Elefant Records, in it's constant search for new ideas and projects, is beginning a new collection of limited-edition singles called "Reworked By Series". The main idea is that groups on the Elefant label appropriate, play with, and remix each others' songs. It's an explosive mix that can create really exciting cocktails. The "marriages of convenience" that Elefant Records' new singles collection is fostering, are bringing about surprising results. It is this unthinkable combination that makes this release so unusual and special. These songs, the arrangements, the characteristics that have made The Primitives the timeless band they are today, are what have helped take Modular's interpretation to the next level. Yes, we have the analogue toying of Stereolab, the martial rhythms of kraut-rock, the outer-space noise and magic of Juan García Esquivel, but those clearly recognizable melodies, the solid, hummable, pristine choruses of the British group, give these "reconstructions" a malleability that make them so addictive, like a bright, open space you can step into and take deep, deep breaths. "Purifying Tone" is a trip to the future and the past, a Venusian suit for an other-worldly hit, and "Lose The Reason" increases it's levels of dance-ability and excitement to unimaginable levels.
