"Seeing that the whole world is being
consumed in invisible flames of fire,
I come to Thy feet"
-Guru Amar Das-
"The Primatives feature a blend of rock with eclectic influences of folk stylings and Indian rhythms. Jesse Hanson's melodic vocals and song lines are well-matched with pulsating, energetic guitar. These songs drive the point straight home in a style reminiscent of the influential Neil Young.
The songs are supported by Jesse's wife, Lila, who adds her own multi-cultural influence with percussive instruments and the flute and by Jack on bass whose musical interests range from folk to Dave Brubeck. They both add nicely balanced supportive vocals. The energy between Lila and Jesse feels magical."
-Tim Brodkorb (Rainbow Rising Coffee House) Smithton, PA-
"The Primatives are a primitive alternative rock/folk group with subtle expressions of our individual spirituality... in the music, the contributions of the band members, and the relationship between my wife Lila and I."
- Jesse S. Hanson (Primatives songwriter)
"One key to the early Airplane's success was the vocal blend of co-founders Marty Balin and Paul Kantner, along with Signe Anderson, the original female singer. The combination of two men and one woman worked effectively to the point where it became a template for other folk-rock groups to follow.
So it's with high praise that I compare the sound of the Primatives to that of the Airplane. The trio - Jesse Hanson; his wife, Lila; and their bass player, Jack - basically features three lead singers, a distinctive touch in a day one most bands seem to lean toward one front man (or woman).
. . . The diverse influences of band members combine for a sound that will be on display with the completion of the new Primatives CD, to be called 'Primitive Spirit' (yes, that's with an "i").
'That's going to be the character of the band as it is now,' Jesse says."
- Harry Funk (Washington Observer Reporter)
"Hey, I just saw you at the Coffee Den. That was a superb show. I loved the intimacy of it too, it reminded me a lot of when I saw CSN at the Palumbo Center since that was a pretty small concert arena, and I was relatively close."
- Doug Donoughe (musician)

Primitive Spirit Review by RadioIndy radioindy.com
POSTED BY: radioindy POSTED ON: 08 Apr 2007 02:01 AM
“Primitive Spirit" is a creative, organic folk rock CD by The Primatives. The tracks on the CD are very acoustic, spiritual and earthy. Various percussive instruments and flute fills are nicely used to add depth to the sound of the primarily clean guitar sound. The strength of the CD lies in the meaningful songwriting that is brought to life by this distinctive organic sound, combined with the tasteful yet complex 3-part harmonies. Track 6, called Pyare, has a typical sound of the CD, and is one of our favorite tracks because the harmonies and flute fills blend particularly well on this track. The guitar work throughout the CD is impressive, especially the acoustic guitar licks in Sorry. The CD breathes fresh life into a very 60s folk rock sound that will remind you of bands such as Crosby Stills Nash and Young and The Grateful Dead. If you enjoy folk rock, especially the legendary folk rock artists of the 60s, you will enjoy this CD. Pick up a copy today!

"Amazing material. I'm extremely pleased with this CD, The Lovers of Kali Yuga. The Dragon Song is powerfully atmospheric, with great guitar work and the electric guitar so expresses the Dragon's dying thoughts, it's beautiful. Here Come the Primatives has likely some of the best lyrics of the album, with a good amount of both relevancy to current times and mysticism. Also, Never Again really strikes a chord with me. All of the other songs on the album are also excellent. Overall just a spectacular CD."
- Doug Donoughe (musician)
"I think 'Never Again' is an absolutely wonderful tune. I can relate! The most eloquent, harmonious rhythm I've heard in years."
- Joe Luisi (friend and fan)
