Today, Protomartyr<\/strong> share “My Children<\/strong>,” the second single off their forthcoming album Relatives In Descent <\/em>(out 9\/29 on Domino)<\/strong>. A song about legacy, about what we pass on to those that come after us, \u2018My Children\u2019 is an urgent follow up to the first single, the gloriously epic “A Private Understanding.”<\/div>\n

Protomartyr have announced worldwide tour dates in support of the album, including a hometown album release party on the Detroit Princess, a 4-level historical cruise ship. The party, which will feature performances from Protomartyr, Adult, Metz, Tyvek, and Preoccupations, also includes a scenic cruise. Tickets available here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, Protomartyr have announced another New York headline show, at St. Vitus in Brooklyn on Wednesday September 13th<\/span><\/span>. This more intimate affair will give NY fans a chance to see the band before their Music Hall of Williamsburg show on Oct. 28th<\/span><\/span>. Tickets will be on sale Friday, August 18th<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Anxiety about the precarious nature of reality is a recurring thread on Protomartyr’s 4th full-length and Domino debut<\/strong>. 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)<\/strong>, who co-produced the record and helped capture the band\u2019s long-simmering vision for something more complex, but no less visceral.<\/p>\n

Previously shared track “A Private Understanding<\/strong>” is the album’s opening statement and a wellspring from which the following eleven songs flow. At once beautiful and brutal, it mutates from drum-led oddity to unlikely anthem, with some of Casey\u2019s most potent lyrical work at its center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

PRAISE FOR “A PRIVATE UNDERSTANDING”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There is an entire short story\u2019s worth of action here, but this sentence turns it into something else \u2014 a frozen pose, a single moment we can gaze at indefinitely.” – The New York Times Magazine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“‘A Private Understanding’ is another Protomartyr song that rewards repeat listens\u2014to sit with its poetry and tease out its generous hooks” – Pitchfork<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Frontman Joe Casey’s brand of dour, erudite charisma has never been more engaging, with allusions to Stalin and the beliefs of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus sitting next to pained, direct outbursts (“she’s just trying to reach you,” Casey sings over and over as the guitars build into a typhoon at the end).” – Noisey<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“A five-minute slow-simmer that captures Protomartyr at their most unsettling and their most accessible.” – Stereogum<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Over an off-kilter drumbeat, bellower-in-chief Joe Casey gives a vision of America in 2017\u2013’this age of blasting trumpets, paradise for fools’\u2013before heading into murkier waters.” – SPIN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
