In doing what little research I could on this quartet, it was unsurprisingly revealed that there were multiple bands over the years running around with the moniker
Primary Colors. This one presumably hailed from Boston, MA or nearby environs and released this single ep. Quintessential synth-pop, but with discernable socio-political themes, mildly suggesting an emerging technocratic world. In short, there isn't a "Just Can't Get Enough" in this comparatively pensive bouquet, and that's absolutely fine by me. The one comparison I stumbled on that was leveled at these guys was Illustrated Man, if that means anything to you. With the exception of the icy, quasi-Dadaistic "Original Sin," I enjoyed this one.

they were indeed from here in Boston, and seemingly played everywhere after i moved here in '84......
Yup, Jim is correct. From Boston, I picked this up back in the day and was underwhelmed, as I recall. Fell into the post-New Models(the band, produced by Ric Ocasek) new wave, synth driven pop, just a wee bit non-descript, as I recall.
