UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP Primeval: Obsession / Detachment

For their third album 'Primeval: Obsession // Detachment', Tallah seized the chance to embrace their inner weirdness. The group were determined to be louder, stranger, more experimental, unshackled from the constraints of genre or any other form of categorization. Tallah decamped to Michigan to work with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, making the ambitious call to record the whole album live. The result is a white-hot, primal body of work that harnesses the ferocity of the band’s live show and immortalises it, while also giving them the distinct, rougher edge that they were hoping for. It harks back to their ethos when the band first began in 2018 to sound organic, natural and most importantly, raw – just like how they would sound if they were making noise just metres away from you in a live setting. As with their previous albums, 2020’s 'Matriphagy' and 2022’s 'The Generation Of Danger', 'Primeval: Obsession // Detachment' is a larger-than-life concept record. Taking place on a mysterious alien planet, it follows the nurse Ana and the assassin Sheelah, who are both approached by a shadowy group of beings. “They ask the main characters to each perform a task that will test their values and push their morals to the limit before ending with twist after twist,” explains vocalist Justin Bonitz. “The album explores morality, duty, personal beliefs, duality, and understanding one's place in society." 'Primeval: Obsession // Detachment' is an enigmatic yet instinctual body of work, in which Tallah burst forth and scream their true identities to the world. Unbeleaguered by trends, expectation or any trace of overthinking, this album represents them in their freest form. TRACKLIST CD / Digital 01. 05:01 02. What We Know 03. Augmented 04.
