PROTOMARTYR: RELATIVES IN DESCENT (EU Import)(Domino2017)
Vinyl LP EU Import.
*Includes fold-out poster, zine & download code.
After a year of extensive touring in support of 2015's The Agent Intellect, Protomartyr returned to their practice space in a former optician's office in Southwest Detroit. Guitarist Greg Ahee - inspired by The Raincoats' Odyshape, Mica Levi's orchestral compositions, and Protomartyr's recent collaboration with post-punk legends The Pop Group, for Rough Trade's 40th anniversary - began writing new music that artfully expanded on everything they'd recorded up until that point. The result is Relatives in Descent, their fourth full-length and Domino debut. Though not a concept album, it presents twelve variations on a theme: the unknowable nature of truth, and the existential dread that often accompanies that unknowing. This, at a moment when disinformation and garbled newspeak have become a daily reality.
Tracks include:
A1 A Private Understanding
A2 Here Is The Thing
A3 My Children
A4 Caitriona
