PRIMAL SCREAM share new video for ‘Shine Like Stars’ Andrew Weatherall Remix

Primal Scream complete a retrospective campaign celebrating the 30th anniversary of their classic 1991 album ‘Screamadelica’ with today’s release of ‘Demodelica’ album. Featuring early demos and work in progress mixes of the majority of the songs that would feature on the record, ‘Demodelica’ also features a demo recording of the song ‘Screamadelica’, which didn’t emerge until the following year’s ‘Dixie-Narco’ EP.

In addition, Primal Scream also share a new video, directed by the illustrator and designer Julie Verhoeven, for the recently unearthed ‘Shine Like Stars’ remix by their much-missed friend and producer Andrew Weatherall. Verhoeven has created an art installation-style visual, which juxtaposes intimate and confrontational close-up shots of Bobby Gillespie with wildly unpredictable stock footage. Both the visual and the remix share the quality of being intensely dreamlike while also expressing an undercurrent of beauty.

Verhoeven says, “The song and the remix share such a magnetic poignancy and allure, which really digs into your subconscious and takes roots. I responded through the guise of Bobby, as a beguiling, living portrait. The vulnerable, yet gritty, provocateur.”
