Music News - Protomartyr Debut NZ Tour
20 November 2017 - 0 Comments
Detroit’s Protomartyr have
announced their highly anticipated debut Australia & New Zealand tour in
February 2018. With Singer Joe Casey declaring “…we better be touring Australasia sometime in
the next year. If it doesn’t happen the band is breaking up.”, the
jaded-yet-urgent post punks are set to play intimate club venues across
Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington.
Protomartyr will tour in support of their
fourth album Relatives
in Descent (released 29 September via Domino), which has
received wide praise from The
New York Times (Album of the Week), The Guardian, NPR, SPIN and Q Magazine. The
album features anthemic, epic singles Don’t Go to Anacita, My Children and A Private Understanding.
Anxiety about the precarious nature of reality is a recurring thread on Relatives in Descent.
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. After months of rehearsal, the band decamped to Los Angeles for
two weeks in March of 2017, to record with Sonny DiPerri (Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors),
who co-produced the record and helped capture the band’s long-simmering vision
for something more complex, but no less visceral.
“Sensational, bloodied but unbowed post-punk” The Guardian 5*
"Over the course of four full-length albums, the Detroit-based band has produced a collection of lyrically dense, deeply philosophical (and usually very loud) songs that grapple with some of life's thorniest questions: What does it mean to be human What is truth? What is the nature of good and evil?" NPR Music
