The Denver power trio Primitive Man has been making harsh, fuzz-drowned sludge for a decade, and they’ve just announce plans to follow their 2020 album Immersion with a new EP called Insurmountable.

Last year, Faye Webster released a new album, I Know I’m Funny haha, and now she’s readying an EP of orchestral reimaginings of a handful of songs from that album and her 2019 breakthrough Atlanta Millionaires Club.
