Protomartyr will bring their recent ‘Agent Intellect‘ album to the UK next year for three live shows.
The dates begin in Liverpool on April 1st, and take in the Glasgow Broadcast and London’s 100 Club immediately after. The full details are below.
“Were ‘The Agent Intellect’ just the sum of those parts – the foursome began work with over a hundred fragments at the beginning of the recording process – it would be merely interesting,” our album review reads.
“But there are songs here too, damn good, footappin’ ones such as ‘Pontiac ’87‘, whose chiming riff brings to mind The Horrors during their ‘Skying‘ period, whilst Casey wrote ‘Ellen’ as an ode to his mother from the point of view of his now dead father.”
“The album’s fulcrum whirls around ‘Dope Cloud‘, a mendacious cautionary tale by which, over a hip-shaking boogie, he reminds us that accumulations of neither god nor money can stop us ending life as we began it.”
“In the meantime of course we can do this, and that, and dance like the devil was on our tail, his pitchfork jabbing our asses like Protomartyr on a two day jaunt.”
