Protomartyr are following 2020’s Ultimate Success Today.

Protomartyr have announced the release of their new album Formal Growth In The Desert on June 2nd.

The band will stop at SXSW at the start of North American, UK and European touring which is booked for much of this year, and are trailing the record with Make Way.




“There’s a deliberate through-line between the videos for Make Way and 2020’s Worm In Heaven,” the video’s director Trevor Naud said.

The two songs feel partnered with each other. So I wanted the videos to feel like they exist in the same world. There are layers of experiments happening–all within a closed environment. We don’t know what’s happened to the world outside, but there’s an undertone that things maybe aren’t quite right.
