Label: Domino
Released 7/17/20
There is a sting in the summer blossom of Ultimate Success Today, Protomartyr’s fifth album and second for Domino. Arriving after Relatives In Descent, Protomartyr’s headlong dive into the morass of American life in 2017, Ultimate Success Today is a fitting follow-up for the Detroit band. Ultimate Success Today was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios, a late 19th century church, in upstate New York and co-produced by the band and David Tolomei (Dirty Projectors, Beach House) with mixing by Tolomei. Featured guest musicians on the album include Nandi Rose (vocals) a.k.a. Half Waif, jazz legend Jameel Moondoc (alto sax), Izaak Mills (bass clarinet, sax, flute), and Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello).
