Simian Mobile Disco and Paul Epworth also help out on new album

Primal Scream have disclosed that a number of collaborators are set to feature on their as yet untitled ninth studio album, the follow up to 2006’s 'Riot City Blues'.

The LP, due out later this year, will feature a number of different collaborators and producers, including James Ford, who produced Arctic Monkeys and Klaxons' recent albums.

Speaking to BBC News, Bobby Gillespie said: "We did some tracks with Youth, Paul Epworth - we did some stuff with him. James Ford is going to do a mix for us as well, and we've been producing stuff ourselves."

It is also rumoured that the band are looking at doing sessions with Mark Ronson, though these have not yet been confirmed.

is it me, or did anyone else notice the hostility and ambivalence displayed by primal scream when they delievered an award to the klaxons?

not only that, but i believe that the little klaxon keyboardist/dancer noticed this cold gesture and decided to counteract (ass lick) by explicitly commending primal scream for their labourious efforts and outstanding contribution to music, which proved uneccessary as it went unregistered by the not so interested mani and bobby.

in my opinion, klaxons are useless, they are completely meaningless in comparison to the musical contribution of primal scream, the status was evident as they were undoubtedly ignored. klaxons are a bunch of peurile middle class indie pop tarts! i own their first album, i wont be buying their second!
