Our Take

Australian outfit Primitive Calculators make a triumphant return with their latest album "On Drugs," a gritty, no-holds-barred exploration of sound and sensation. Combining elements of post-punk, electronic, and noise rock, the band creates a cacophony of chaos that is as intoxicating as it is unpredictable.

From the opening track "Chemical Imbalance," it's clear that Primitive Calculators are not afraid to push sonic boundaries. The frenetic drumming, distorted guitars, and manic vocals all come together in a whirlwind of energy that is both exhilarating and disorienting. It's like being thrown into a blender of sound and being told to dance your way out.

Tracks like "Mind Expansion" and "Euphoria" showcase the band's ability to create hypnotic grooves that are simultaneously abrasive and mesmerising. The pulsating synths and jagged guitar riffs build and build, creating a sense of tension that never quite resolves, leaving the listener on edge and craving more.

But it's not all chaos and confusion on "On Drugs." The album also has moments of eerie beauty, such as the haunting ballad "Sedated Serenity" and the dreamy "Hallucinogenic Haze." These tracks showcase a different side to Primitive Calculators, one that is introspective and haunting in its beauty.

Overall, "On Drugs" is a wild ride of an album that defies categorisation and demands to be heard. Primitive Calculators have created a sonic masterpiece that is as challenging as it is rewarding, and one that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone brave enough to take the journey.

About the artist

Primitive Calculators

Brace yourselves, dear readers, for the sonic onslaught that is PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS. Hailing from the underground music scene of Melbourne, this eccentric trio is anything but primitive in their approach to music. With a sound that can only be described as a cacophony of post-punk, noise rock, and experimental electronica, PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS have carved out a niche for themselves in the music world that is equal parts exhilarating and enigmatic. Formed in the late 1970s, PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS quickly gained a reputation for their unpredictable live performances, which often involve onstage antics that would make Iggy Pop blush. Frontman Stuart Grant leads the charge with his frenetic vocals and manic stage presence, while David Light and Frank Lovece provide a dynamic backdrop of pounding drums and screeching synthesizers. Together, they create a sonic maelstrom that is as thrilling as it is disorienting. Despite their cult following and legendary status in the Australian music scene, PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS have remained largely under the radar in the wider music world. But make no mistake – their influence can be felt in the work of countless contemporary artists, from Thee Oh Sees to Liars. So, dear reader, if you're in the mood for a musical adventure like no other, look no further than PRIMITIVE CALCULATORS. Just be prepared to have your senses assaulted in the best possible way.
