Primitive Man have released a new EP in a bid to help fund the repairs for their van, which has caused them to miss some live shows on their current tour with Weedeater. The EP itself falls more in the drone/ambient category than the group’s regular offerings. Here’s what they had to say about it:
“Hi. If you were looking forward to seeing Primitive Man in Nebraska, Illinois or Wisconsin on our tour with Weedeater this week we would like to apologize because we will not be making it. After taking our van in to get an oil change and some routine maintenance done it was returned to us in way worse shape than we dropped it off in. The short version of this story is that they destroyed the engine and now we have to “meet them in the middle” to cover the repair costs because neither party can necessarily “prove” that the other one is at fault.
Last week, after recording for our next full length we paid for an extra day at flatline audio to record some noise tracks. Though these were not supposed to be revealed to the public this way (or necessarily under this name), we could use some financial assistance in paying for van repairs. Regardless of whether or not anyone buys these tracks, we will still be making whatever shows we can as soon as the van is finished.
These are in the vein of the P//M record that Crown and Throne Ltd. released but they were recorded in a pro studio and a lot more care was put into these than our noise tracks have been able to receive in the past. I would also classify these as more drone/ambient than harsh noise.
Anyway, if you’re into it-download. And if not, you can stream them for free. We should also have a shirt design up online as well tomorrow.
Thank you.
P//M”
