Primitive Parts are a London-based rock trio consisting of
Male Bonding alumni Kevin Hendrick (guitar) and Robin Christian (drums) and
Sauna Youth member Lindsay Corstorphine (vocals/guitar). The genesis for the band dates back to 2012 when the three were working together at a record shop in Crouch End. Their initial idea was to start a project that might resemble "Stiff Records in the '60s." Citing a wide variety of influences like
the Kinks,
the UV Race,
Swell Maps, and early
Brian Eno, they released a handful of singles in early 2014, eventually signing a deal with esteemed indie Trouble in Mind Records in early 2015. Recorded simply to analog tape over the course of a few days, their debut LP,
Parts Primitive, was released later that year. ~ Timothy Monger
