''Primary Colours'' is the second album by Australian garage punk band Eddy Current Suppression Ring. The album was recorded in a suburb of Melbourne over a 24-hour period in August 2007. The album was first released on Aarght! Records in Australia only on 5 May 2008, then on 9 September 2008 on Goner Records in the United States, and finally in the United Kingdom on Melodic Records on 17 August 2009. "Which Way to Go" was the only single released from ''Primary Colours''. ''Primary Colours'' peaked at No. 13 on the ARIA Hitseekers Chart in June 2008. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the album's minimalistic sound and warm, personable lyrics. It won the Australian Music Prize in 2008, and was nominated for the ARIA Award that same year for best rock album, but lost to The Living End's entry, ''White Noise''. ==Background and recording== Eddy Current Suppression Ring formed in 2004, as a group of friends writing and performing songs together for fun. They decided to keep making their music when they discovered that other people liked it. The band recorded their first song as a trio, at a vinyl pressing plant where Eddy Current (real name Mikey Young) was working at the time. After they took a liking to the resulting song, they recruited Rob Solid (real name Brad Barry) to play bass guitar.〔 The group recorded their debut self-titled album in four hours in a rehearsal studio, and released it in 2006 on the Australian label Dropkick Records.〔 They recorded ''Primary Colours'' over the night of 3 August 2007 and part of the following day,〔 in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra on an 8-track, a form of multi-track recording.〔(Eddy Current Suppression Ring: Primary Colours ), Melodic Records〕 The process of recording it took 24 hours and cost $1500. The day after recording finished, the band and their engineer, Lachlan Wooden, added overdubs to the ten tracks.〔 After recording, Eddy Current Suppression Ring toured the US for three weeks, after which Eddy Current, the band's guitarist, mixed the album during November and December 2007.〔 The four members self-produced ''Primary Colours''. Eddy Current Suppression Ring's lead singer, Brendan Suppression (real name Brendan Huntley), explained the choice of ''Primary Colours'' as its title, saying that the band chose it because they "believe...that something beautiful can be made through simple colours or notes or lyrics".〔 In an interview with ''The Age'', Suppression also said that ''Primary Colours''s title refers to the way that everything is made up of a combination of simple things, as all colours are made by combining primary colours. ''Primary Colours'' was originally released in Australia on 5 May 2008 on Eddy Current Suppression Ring's own label, Aarght! Records, before being issued on 9 September 2008 in the United States on Goner Records. In Australia it was distributed by Shock Records. "Which Way to Go" was released as the only single.〔 The following year, on 17 August, ''Primary Colours'' was re-released on Melodic Records in the United Kingdom, in conjunction with the band's eponymous debut album. On this release, the album's title was stylised with a "+" symbol at the end, with ''Primary Colours'' denoted as "CD1".〔 ''Primary Colours'' was originally presented in one of three different album covers – one red, one yellow, and one blue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Releases )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Primary Colours (Eddy Current Suppression Ring album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
