Enjoy An Album with Liam Withnail & Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

Primal Scream - Screamadelica


Listen Later

Bobby Gillespie’s Primal Scream were a bog standard indie-rock band until they were introduced to MDMA and collaborated with acid house DJ Andrew Weatherall on a track called “Loaded” which took a rubbish ballad from their previous album and remixed it into an eccied rave-up. “Screamadelica” followed - a diverse concept record of gospel, post-punk, soul and blues that charts the ecstasy and the agony of the ultimate night out with joyous highs and terrifying comedowns. Melody Maker said it was the best album of 1991, and it won the inaugural Mercury Prize too.


“Screamadelica is also #427 on the Rolling Stone magazine list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, so Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Liam Withnail listened to it, and now they’re going to do a deep dive on everything from the wee freaky LSD sun on the album cover to the incredible backing vocals of Denise Johnson. All that plus Secret Posho, and YouTube Comment of the Week. Enjoy An Album! Enjoy.
