PRIMITIVE RING – “THE CALLOUS MAN”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
Primitive Ring have released their debut, self-titled album via In The Red Records alongside a new video for their single “The Callous Man.” The LP is a pummeling, psychedelic joyride, a striking achievement for the trio of Bert Hoover (bass/vocals), Fuzz’s Charles Moothart (guitar/vocals), and Jon Modaff (drums). The release arrives on the heels of a recent tour supporting Ty Segall–the band is also set to play San Francisco’s Kilowatt (5/22), LA’s Zebulon (6/9, 6/16, 6/23, 6/30), Oakland’s Mosswood Meltdown (7/18-7/19), and more. Album singles “Lies From The Other Side” and “Heads Will Roll,” have earned press support from Brooklyn Vegan, Northern Transmissions, Post-Trash, and more.
Primitive Ring is 11 tracks coming in just under 42 minutes. It was recorded by Mark Rains in December of 2025 at The Station House in Echo Park. The album is the genesis story of a lightning bolt flashing in the eternal drama of creation and destruction. The album showcases the distinct writing styles of each member, but the overall aesthetic is a woven tapestry demarcating the timeless meridian. The record is the spawning of a collective vision. This is something we all share, and we must remind one another how electric humanity can be.
