Experimental Japanese-London band Bo Ningen have shared a new single featuring Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie today. 'Minimal' is a cacophony of ideas, shot through with the thread of Gillespie's voice.

Revving up with a collage of sounds that track as if several songs could be playing at once, 'Minimal' builds to a cleaner plateau of harmonies, pin-wheeling synths and echoing percussion.

The track is a fragment of new album Sudden Fictions: a strange and wonderful breath of fresh air that previews the nine-track LP coming in June.
