In the summer of 1996, Primitive Radio Gods intrigued, then annoyed, everyone with “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand”. An unlikely hit, even those that liked the song grew weary of it after radio turned it into just another overplayed song. After Primitive Radio Gods failed to deliver a follow-up, everyone assumed they’d never be heard from again.
After four years and the obligatory label struggles, Primitive Radio Gods offers the faithful the comfortably complex White Hot Peach. Their blend of gentle rock and subtle sampling and electronics still sounds fascinating as it did in 1996 (after all, “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand” always sounded ahead of its time), White Hot Peach is beautiful and strange while still remaining deceptively accessible.


It’s hard to say if Primitive Radio Gods will ever have another hit to match the success of “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand”, but White Hot Peach proves that they cannot be dismissed as mere one-hit wonders. Primitive Radio Gods have created one of those rare recordings that is not only great, but is nearly essential.
