Pōneke's history making free jazz ensemble Primitive Art Group have recently been immortalised in Dan Beban's brilliant biography Future Jaw-Clap. Now, hot on those heels comes Primitive Art Group - 1981-1986, a double LP set that brings together a pretty darn comprehensive collection of the band's output. Featuring the entirety of the band's sole full-length album, also called Future Jaw-Clap, we're also treated to some tasty slices from the Five Tread Drop Down EP, and a previously unreleased live recording from 1984. This here is some hot honking! - Flying Out
This gatefold, 2XLP combines the group’s only two albums, consisting of one LP of 'Five Tread Drop Down' cuts plus “Cecil Likes to Dance” a never-before-released live recording from Thistle Hall (1984) and the full 1985 LP Future Jaw-Clap. Completely unavailable since mid-1980s, Amish Records is exceedingly proud to have worked closely with members of the group to present this crucial contribution to New Zealand’s music history.
