Primo
are Xanthe Waite, Violetta DelConte Race and Suzanne Walker. As a trio
from Melbourne writing up-tempo, terse chorus and verse, Primo make use
of two guitars, drums, sound effects and a group vocal sensibility to
ornament their enquiries into deconstructed punk and indie rock. Their
songs chime and charm, sounding at times bountiful, at others brittle,
always buoyant with attention to detail. Primo songs are alive and
inquisitive, chasing down questions for answers long sped-away, amidst
minimalist shuffle beats and ringing-out chords. The group’s debut album
‘Amici’ is a triumph of the underplayed, its small details pull focus,
allowing the album to treat us to unexpected truths in plain sight.
Primo's
newest member since 2018 is Amy Hill, who also plays in Terry and
Constant Mongrel, on bass. Outside of Primo, Xanthe and Violetta both
have lent their guitar skills to Terry and The Shifters respectively,
whilst Suzanne works in film too. The band’s debut album ‘Amici’ will be
released as LP and CD on Upset The Rhythm on July 13th and followed up
in August with a European tour. http://www.upsettherhythm.co.uk/primo.shtml
