Protomartyr return with their first album on Domino Records.

After a year of extensive touring in support of 2015’s The Agent Intellect, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/protomartyr">Protomartyr</a> 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 <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/protomartyr">Protomartyr's</a> recent collaboration with post-punk legends <a href="https://roughtrade.com/gb/artist/the-pop-group">The Pop Group</a>, 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.
