Bobby Gillespie: “I’m trying to work out what you do with a band that’s been going as long as we have”

Primal Scream’s twelfth album Come Ahead marks a distinctive break with recent records. In this extended version of the interview in this month’s Uncut, Bobby Gillespie talks us through the radical changes in the Scream’s music-making from the ‘80s through Screamadelica to the present, social justice, his deep bonds with Andrew Innes and his late dad, and writing age-appropriate songs as a sixty-something rocker. UNCUT: It seems like the lyrics on Come Ahead follow on from some of the breakthroughs you made on Utopian Ashes, the album you made with Jehnny Beth. BOBBY GILLESPIE: Definitely. I wrote the lyrics for Utopian Ashes just before I wrote my book Tenement Kid, and between those two releases something was unlocked and made free. Advertisement Had you become more confident that you could stand up and make art outside of Primal Scream? With the book, definitely. We could actually have released Utopian Ashes as a Primal Scream album because I wrote 90% of the lyrics and about 90% of the melodies, and Andrew [Innes] and myself did all of the chords. But also with that record my writing process was different. Since Vanishing Point in ’96, it would be Andrew and myself in… Read More →

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, O2 Arena, London, November 9, 2024

“Fucking London!” bellows Nick Cave with affectionate gusto, surveying the vast crowd who have come to pay homage in the city where he first made his name. “It seems like we’ve been on tour forever, but now we’re here.” Cave is a pretty good showman these days, so it’s possible he says this kind of thing wherever he plays. But there must be a part of him that thinks back to those famously confrontational Birthday Party shows at West Hampstead’s Moonlight Club almost 45 years ago and wonders exactly how he ended up headlining two nights at the O2.

It’s been a long and sometimes troubled journey, but Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are defiantly an arena band now. 2024’s Wild God is the first album they’ve written specifically to fill venues of this magnitude, and an awesome opening one-two punch of “Frogs” and “Wild God” demonstrates how well they’ve judged the situation.

“Why So Busy?” Shweta Harve’s Powerful Anthem for Finding Stillness

In an age where “busy” feels like a badge of honor, Shweta Harve ‘s new single “Why So Busy?” feels like a breath of fresh air. The song asks a question many of us wrestle with: Is this relentless rush through life really worth it? Teaming up with Italian composer Dario Cei, Harve explores the ways we get caught up in endless busyness, often at the expense of genuine connection and presence. Written from a deeply personal perspective, “Why So Busy?” doesn’t just highlight the toll that a nonstop life can take but invites listeners to re-evaluate how they use their time. Harve’s smooth, soulful vocals contrast with the song’s upbeat acoustic rhythm, creating an intriguing mix of lightheartedness and sincerity. Her lyrics address the toll of constant distraction—often with a touch of irony, pointing out how we sometimes choose “busyness” over simply being. Her reflection comes with a heartfelt weight, especially in the dedication to her mother, Sheela, who inspired her to cherish meaningful moments over trivial pursuits. The song’s music video takes this message further, capturing the sense of detachment that can exist even when we’re connected. Harve and Cei act out a familiar, almost mundane scenario—a video… Read More →

Aphrodite’s Child – 666 – The Apocalypse Of St John: 50th Anniversary Boxset

If The Rolling Stones’ notorious free concert at Altamont in December 1969 signalled the end of the ’60s’ hippie ideal, then Aphrodite’s Child’s 666 is the sacrificial ceremony where the hopes and dreams of that decade are finally turned to dust in a beautiful, cacophonous, ridiculous melange of progressive rock, psychedelic folk, Greek myth, Christian scripture, Monty Python surrealism and countercultural conspiracy. The victims at this ceremony? Aphrodite’s Child themselves, whose four members went their separate ways long before this controversial 83-minute double-album based on the Book of Revelations was released in June 1972, two years after the band had delivered it to their label, Mercury.

Stewarded by the Greek maestro Vangelis Papathanassiou – the visionary behind the Blade Runner and Chariots Of Fire scores – and fronted by the singer and bassist Demis Roussos – later, the kaftan king of ’70s kitsch – alongside guitarist Silver Koulouris and drummer Lucas Sideras, Aphrodite’s Child began life as Athens’ answer to The Byrds or The Beatles.

Bob Dylan, Usher Hall, Edinburgh, November 5, 2024

If, at this late date, you still need proof Bob Dylan is not a man to be trusted, then this unexpected return to the UK for the latest leg of the Rough And Rowdy Ways tour is a good place to start. Certainly, after the triumphant fourth and final show at the London Palladium – with its two extra curtain calls – you could have been forgiven for thinking that Dylan was bidding farewell to the capital, before making a last, dignified excursion round the country. So it came as a surprise when this latest run of 10 UK shows were announced in July – not just simply Dylan’s decision to return to the UK, but the question this inevitably raised. When you’ve played shows as good as the ones Uncut witnessed in London, Glasgow and Oxford in 2022 what, then, do you do for an encore?

AMONG the many surprises 2024 had to offer, arguably the most unexpected took place on the night of September 25. “Happy Birthday Mary Jo!” Bob Dylan wrote on X. “See you in Frankfort.” Happy Birthday Mary Jo! See you in Frankfort. — Bob Dylan (@bobdylan) September 25, 2024 Whoa – who was Mary Jo? And did he mean Frankfort, the state capital of Kentucky, or Frankfurt, where Dylan was due to play a few weeks later? And hang on, was that really Bob Dylan anyway? A further post on September 30 said, “I just found out the other day that Bob Newhart was gone. Rest in peace Bob. You brought us a lot of joy.” Advertisement More followed – including a restaurant recommendation when in New Orleans and a thwarted experience at a publishing convention in – yes – Frankfurt. While Dylan’s presence on social media may well have sent scholars into a lather (are the posts canon?), his missives, however random or cryptic they may appear, are nevertheless an intriguing development.

Quincy Jones: “I learned the difference between music and the music business”

This article originally appeared in Uncut Take 163 from December 2010 Quincy Jones keeps Uncut waiting for an hour before we’re finally ushered into his presence. Thankfully, this proves to be the only evidence of prima donna behaviour from the legendary producer and arranger – when we finally meet, he’s charming and affable, brandishing photos of his kids and relating tales of his extensive travels (China is a current obsession). As we talk through a handful of his many career highs, “Q” heads off on entertaining tangents: numerology, the banning of slave drums in 1692 America, the similarity between Chinese and African languages, the emotional pull of a major seventh chord and why Pro-Tools will never replicate his sound. In passing, he name-drops the Stones, Brando, Picasso and David Beckham. At 77, with a credit on over 100 albums, we have to ask what the secret is to his success. “The sequence is very important,” he says. “That’s the architecture of an album…” THE CURE, BRYAN FERRY, THE MC5, RADIOHEAD, KIM DEAL, PAUL WELLER AND MORE STAR IN THE NEW UNCUT – ORDER A COPY HERE Advertisement QUINCY JONESTHE BIRTH OF A BAND (MERCURY, 1959) Jones’ third album was recorded… Read More →

Pop Star Maria Ellis Celebrates Self-Love with Bold New Track “Conceited”

Maria Ellis is on a mission to redefine self-confidence in her latest single, “Conceited.” The track, the lead single from her upcoming EP Ultrabaddie, is an infectious anthem that dares listeners to embrace their self-worth unapologetically. As a pop/R&B sensation, Maria captivates her audience with bold lyrics and a dynamic sound that invites you to sing along while reflecting on your own experiences with self-perception. Picture yourself in a moment of self-doubt, scrolling through social media, and feeling the pressure to present a perfect image. Now, let Maria’s voice resonate in your head: “I’m a bit conceited, loudest when I’m preaching, I mean it, I mean it.” These words encourage a shift in mindset, prompting you to celebrate your individuality rather than shrink in the face of insecurity. As you play “Conceited,” let the energetic beats and sultry vocals wash over you, empowering you to step into your light and appreciate your unique qualities. With the Y2K-inspired music video for “Conceited,” Maria Ellis transports you to a retro-futuristic world that enhances the track’s theme of self-empowerment. Imagine vibrant colors and nostalgic visuals framing a narrative of confidence and fun. It’s not just a song; it’s an experience that inspires you… Read More →

The Cure, The Troxy, London, November 1 2024

It’s probably a couple of decades too late, but Robert Smith is finding that his deepest fears are coming true. Now aged 65, he recently fretted about whether he’d make it to 70 – and still be around to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Cure. Certainly, the coal-black angst and existential melancholia that has become the band’s stock-in-trade has taken on an additional potency in the last few years: health scares proliferated, loved ones have died. We have become used to venerable artists like Dylan, Neil Young and Springsteen ruminating on ageing and mortality, now it seems that it’s Smith’s turn to manage the problematic business of growing old.

McCarty & Benge’s “Moving Mountains” Celebrates the Journey of Faith and Redemption

In the world of contemporary Christian music, innovation can sometimes feel elusive, especially in a genre rooted so deeply in tradition. But with McCarty & Benge‘ s “Moving Mountains,” Christian hip-hop artist Ian McCarty and Southern gospel singer Jason Benge achieve a refreshing fusion that is both spiritual and genre-bending, carrying forward the momentum of their acclaimed debut Small Town in an anthem that strikes a balance between reverence and rawness. Released on October 25, 2024, “Moving Mountains” is the first glimpse into the duo’s upcoming sophomore album, Live On Faith. The track captures their distinct synergy—a heartfelt blend of Southern gospel and hip-hop that intertwines both styles without overshadowing the other. With McCarty’s lyrical agility and Benge’s grounding vocals, “Moving Mountains” feels like a raw testimony shared in both melody and rhythm, speaking to life’s struggles and the unwavering power of faith to rise above them. The inspiration behind “Moving Mountains” draws from McCarty’s travels through East Tennessee, where the Smoky Mountains, ever-present and unwavering, serve as a metaphor for God’s power to “move mountains” in our lives. This spiritual and geographical connection elevates the track beyond simple storytelling; it grounds it in a landscape that feels as real… Read More →

Paul Morrissey – filmmaker, Warhol collaborator and Velvet Underground manager – has died aged 86

Paul Morrissey, the cult filmmaker, Andy Warhol collaborator and Velvet Underground manager, has died aged 86, reports The New York Times. THE CURE, BRYAN FERRY, THE MC5, RADIOHEAD, KIM DEAL, PAUL WELLER AND MORE STAR IN THE NEW UNCUT – ORDER A COPY HERE Born in 1938 in Manhattan, Morrissey met Warhol in 1965, via the poet and filmmaker, Gerard Malanga. Morrissey began working at the Factory, collaborating first with Warhol on My Hustlerin 1965. Morrissey’s low-budget explorations of New York subculture – including Chelsea Girls (1966), Lonesome Cowboys, Flesh (both 1968), Trash (1970) and Women In Revolt (1972) – proved influential on the next generation of independent filmmakers like Henry Jaglom, Jim Jarmusch and Hal Hartley. Morrissey was also an early champion of Brian De Palma. Between 1966 and ’67, Morrissey also managed The Velvet Underground and Nico. Morrisey also helped conceive and titled the Exploding Plastic Inevitable happenings, which included appearances by the band. After parting ways with Warhol in 1974, Morrissey continued to make films – most notably his 1978 adaptation of The Hound Of The Baskervilles starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Morrissey’s final film News From Nowherewas released in 2010.
