Primary Colours (Eddy Current Suppression Ring album)

Primary Colours is the second studio album by Australian rock band Eddy Current Suppression Ring, released on May 1, 2008, by Aarght! Records. The album built upon the band's raw, energetic post-punk sound established in their self-titled debut. Primary Colours received widespread critical acclaim for its minimalist instrumentation, lo-fi production, and introspective lyrics.

The album features a distinctive, almost claustrophobic atmosphere, characterized by repetitive guitar riffs, driving bass lines, and Dan Stewart's distinctive, often monotone vocals. Lyrically, the songs explore themes of alienation, social commentary, and everyday observations, reflecting a working-class Australian perspective.

Key tracks on Primary Colours include "Which Way to Go," "Colour Television," and "Precious Little." The album helped to solidify Eddy Current Suppression Ring's reputation as a significant force in the Australian independent music scene and garnered them international attention. Primary Colours is often cited as a defining album of Australian garage rock and post-punk revival. The album's DIY ethos and stripped-down sound have influenced numerous subsequent artists.
