Primal Scream have announced details of a new album of remixes titled, Come Ahead: The Remixes Vol 1 (Vocals) due for release via BMG on 28 March 2025. The news arrives before The Come Ahead Tour, Primal Scream’s first UK and Ireland headline shows since 2023, beginning 31 March.
Come Ahead: The Remixes Vol 1 (Vocals) will feature eleven remixes of music from Primal Scream’s critically acclaimed new album, Come Ahead. An accompanying album of dub mixes, titled Come Ahead: The Remixes Vol 2 (dubs), is soon to be announced.
Since the album’s announcement in July 2024, The Come Ahead Remix project has evolved in parallel. Starting with UK house legend Terry Farley and Wade Teo's sold-out white label remix of 'Ready To Go Home' - the mix started dropping in clubs last summer 35 years after Terry Farley first created the iconic ‘Loaded’ and ‘Come Together’ remixes for Primal Scream. ‘Ready To Go Home’ (Tim Goldsworthy Remix), ‘Love Ain’t Enough’ (Tim Goldsworthy Remix), and ‘Love Insurrection’ (Black Science Orchestra Remix) all followed. Last week ‘Innocent Money’ (PSB King Of The World remix), complete with Neil Tennant’s unmistakable vocals, brought the project into 2025.
Bobby Gillespie said: "We have been truly blessed that so many wonderful, talented and creative people have taken up the offer to remix songs from our Come Ahead album with such inventiveness and enthusiasm. We are very proud of these remixes and at some point would like to release them on 12” vinyl and include the beautiful dub mixes to accompany them. Andrew Weatherall set a very high bar with his remix work on Screamadelica and I believe that everyone who worked on this latest project had that in mind as they entered the studio to do their stuff. You can hear the results for yourself. Enjoy!"
A new music video for ‘Innocent Money’ directed by ex The Jesus and Mary Chain member, and renowned filmmaker and video director, Douglas Hart, is also released today. The new video marks the latest in a long line of collaborations - Hart has created music videos with Primal Scream since 1991. Most recently directing the music videos for Come Ahead album highlights, The Centre Cannot Hold and Deep Dark Waters. Watch here.
Come Ahead is Primal Scream’s 12th studio album. Released in November 2024 to widespread critical acclaim, MOJO stated "Come Ahead is up there with Primal Scream’s best" and the Evening Standard championed “the album of the year” in a five star review. Record Collector found “an album by a band which has been audibly reborn”, AnOther Magazine praised “joyous soul-shaking music”, CLASH proclaimed, "Come Ahead is another high in a career full of them," whilst Classic Pop confirmed, "Primal Scream just became important again".
On 31 March Primal Scream’s Come Ahead Tour will hit the UK and Ireland with 14 headline concerts into April 2025. The last remaining tickets are on sale here. Primal Scream will be supported by Baxter Dury at shows in Bristol, Southampton, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham, and by Fat White Family in London.
After launching The Come Ahead Tour at Corona Capital in Mexico City and performing at Tokyo’s Rockin’on Sonic Festival, Primal Scream kicked off 2025 with headline dates across Australia in January, with their show at Fremantle Prison described as “joyous” by Rolling Stone. The Come Ahead Tour is set to continue through Europe and North America into summer 2025.
