Protomartyr have a new LP ‘The Agent Intellect’ fast approaching, the Detroit-based post-punk mob have unveiled a second cut, the fidgety ‘I Forgive You’. With Screeching, jittery guitars forming the track’s predominant thread, as vocalist Joe Casey’s downbeat drawl, drags things through the dirt. When held up against the previously unveiled ‘Why Does It Shake?’ and ‘Dope Cloud’, it’s evidence of Protomartyr’s ability to warp expectations while still keeping things wrapped tight in their familiar post-punk guise.
‘The Agent Intellect’ will be released via Hardly Art Records on October 9th To celebrate, the band have plotted a number of UK dates alongside fellow bruisers METZ – as follows:
