The Primitives crashed into pop history with their 1988 anthem, and four decades later, Paul Court and Tracy Tracy are still making records with the same effortless cool. They recall their indie origins, highlights from their time in the spotlight, the bittersweet catalyst for their return, and how their second wave is better than ever. And as for ‘Crash’? It wasn’t just a breakthrough, it was a declaration that indie pop could be as sharp as it was sweet.
