Protomartyr- Under Color of Official RIght

Label: Hardly Art

Released 4/8/14

PROTOMARTYR's taut, austere rock was incubated in a freezing Detroit warehouse littered with beer cans and cigarette butts and warmed, feebly, by space heaters. Despite the cold, PROTOMARTYR emerged with a sound that is idiosyncratic but relatable, hooky but off-kilter, and economical in a way that elicits comparisons to possible antecedents like PERE UBU or The FALL as well as local contemporaries like FRUSTRATIONS or TYVEK -- all of which have combined here to make one stunner of a sophomore album, and the band's first for Hardly Art.
