Protomartyr by Trevor Naud
Protomartyr’s new album is due on June 2nd.
Protomartyr have shared the video for their new Formal Growth In The Desert single Elimination Dances.
It stars dancer Kota Yamazaki and has been directed by Yoonha Park, who’s said: “My dad once told me ‘Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end the faster it goes.’“
That idea along with the lyrics led to the idea of a choreographic pattern that repeats as it grows outward in an expanding spiral. The choreography repeats with each cycle but has to be danced faster and faster to keep pace with the ‘pale youth’ until eventually devolving into chaos. I recently learned that the toilet paper quote was actually by Andy Rooney.
The band have also announced some additional UK tour dates for August and October.
