[engl] While working on this exclusive edition of « Songs We Taught Ourselves » , we suggested to The Future Primitives that they try a different cover artwork. The answer was clear. « No man, we want to keep the DIY and the reference to the child-like aspect of the first album discoveries . And indeed, here is what The Future Primitives have to offer with this album, that until now was only available on bandcamp : a tribute to these early years, as the obs- cure tracks of Captain Beefheart, The Mummies, Link Wray, The Haunted, The Milkshakes slapped them in the face. Something obvious, faithful. On « Songs We Taught Ourselves », the trio from Cape Town shouts loud and clear their fascination for the music that comes from the guts, with a staggering easiness. “Songs We Taught Ourselves” carves the Future Primitves’ touch, and shoots at point blank range the fury that some unknown heros have been willing to inflict to their decades contemporaries...

[engl] Introducing the wild sounds of The Future Primitives, a psychedelic garage rock three-piece from Cape Town, South Africa. Formed in late 2011, they set out to experiment with sounds from the past and the present. Drawing influence from early rock n roll, 60s garage and first era psychedelic groups, The Future Primitives are inspired by the pioneers, misfits and unknowns alike. Their name hints at a contradiction that can be heard in their sound as the recordings are stripped of all technological advances, using beaten analogue gear and minimal microphone setups to record live to tape. If Satan had a pool party, The Future Primitives would be playing loudly in the background while everyone dropped acid and danced like it was 1969. This might be the best garage record you hear this year and it's from Cape Town, South Africa of all places. Don't miss out on this one.
