Beautiful Future is the ninth studio album by British rock band Primal Scream, released on 21 July 2008 (2008-07-21) on B-Unique Records/Atlantic Records. The album was promoted by the single "Can't Go Back", which was released on 14 July 2008 (2008-07-14), and it was produced by Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John) and Paul Epworth.

According to the press release, "the album displays a heady mix of genre crunching taking in Philly soul, dark electro, accelerated rock'n'roll riffs and pure British pop, all given that particular Scream edge."[12] The album features special guest appearances from Lovefoxxx (of Cansei de Ser Sexy), Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age) and folk legend Linda Thompson.

With the extended edition of Beautiful Future, as well as the album featuring two extra songs ("Urban Guerrilla", "Time of Assassins"), the album also includes the video for the single, "Can't Go Back".

It is the last album to feature the bassist Mani, who was departure after Screamadelica Live in 2011, and then re-formed The Stone Roses in 2012.
