The Primal Scream frontman s book covers his Glasgow childhood and the events up to the release of 1991 s Screamadelica
Bobby Gillespie has announced his first memoir,
Tenement Kid.
The autobiography is billed as the story of a decade lost to Thatcherism and saved by acid house, and will cover the Primal Scream lead member s childhood in Glasgow as well as his time in the Jesus And Mary Chain, going all the way up to the release of Primal Scream 1991 third album,
Screamadelica, and its subsequent tour. It s structured in four parts. At the beginning of 2020 I wanted to challenge myself creatively and do something I had never done before, Gillespie says of the memoir. I didn t want to write another rock record, I d done plenty of those, so, I decided to write a memoir of my early life and worked on it all through the summer, autumn and winter of 2020 and here it is.

The Nine Inch Nails affiliate releases his second album for Mute in June
Alessandro Cortini has a new album on the way.
SCURO CHIARO takes its title from the term for heavily contrasting light and shadow in painting and other visual arts. Cortini says it shows that no matter how you order things there s always going to be two elements that tend to be the opposite of each other that make up the truth or make up everything.
Cortini has shared lead track CHIAROSCURO alongside the album s announcement, and you can listen to it above. Speaking about the track, the producer says: It represents the record, where I was and where I am emotionally. It s to do with the conscious decision about trying to be positive, of striving for happiness while accepting the fact that happiness is not all positive.
