"Broken" is the first new track from Primal Scream since 2016's Chaosmosis.
Speaking about the remastered music video for "Velocity Girl", which features actress and model Edie Sedgwick, Bobby Gillespie said, "I had an Edie Sedgwick type character in mind when I wrote "Velocity Girl". I read Jean Stein’s biography about her and I wanted to meet a girl like that. Hanging out with Warhol, The Velvet Underground , Bob Dylan and shooting speed whilst looking absolutely fabulous. Super hip and beautiful. She was the muse. I love her."
