Under Color of Official Right
Hardly Art
At long last, the true reincarnation of Joy Division has arrived. With 14 tight-knit, post-punk songs that both rage and lament, Protomartyr show us what satirical bluntness sounds like. Under Color of Official Right is the kind of album you listen to partying, driving, dancing, crying, or working out. It's lyrics are viscerally unpleasant, it's music is darkly romantic. Though it only runs 34 minutes, you can lose yourself in its dense aural jungles for hours. Here, Protomartyr set the bar so high it may never be reached by their contemporaries; but despite the complexity of the journey, it is nonetheless an essential one.
Listen:
Ain't So Simple
Pagans
Scum, Rise!
Come & See
