SOMETHING OLD: ‘Loaded’ – Primal Scream

With a name like Primal Scream, if you hadn't heard this band's music before you'd probably assume some heavy rock outfit whose lead singer gargles with grit first thing in the morning to achieve his legendary drawl. But, thankfully, you couldn't be more wrong.

With a drum loop and bass line which would have any music fan of the 90s bouncing off the walls with excitement, the sound echoed earlier by The Stone Roses and later by Happy Mondays, became synonymous with the early phase of Brit Pop. 'Loaded' is minimal on lyric content but for what it lacks with words, it more than makes up for with uplifting layers.

A piano riff cooler than Samuel L Jackson in an ice bath, there's brass and there's also a choir – what more could you want for a summery track which, despite being 20 years old, sounds timeless. And it's no doubt that it's this timelessness which has lead the band to tour this year performing just these album tracks alone.
