Hard to imagine now, but after the success and general cultural uprising of Screamadelica big things were being expected of its follow-up. After the Dixie Narco EP explored southern soul, wonky country and funk wig-outs, the Primals seemed capable of anything. Give Out But Don't Give Up - which, with the benefit of 15 years hindsight, isn't actually terrible - wasn't exactly what the new fans expected of a band that had become a cosmic, shape-shifting entity. Unfortunately as is often the case with that ability, some of the band had decided to get into hard drugs, and an ensuing US tour with Depeche Mode that nearly killed them.
So, Give Out But Don't Give Up wasn't completely amazing. It was a bit of a blip. By rights the Primals should've owned 1994, but Parklife and Definitely Maybe came along and suddenly having a confederate flag on your cover when everyone else is waving union jacks smacked of a band in need of a rethink. Thankfully, that was coming in the form of 1997's Vanishing Point.
