Detroit post-punk outfit Protomartyr deliver one of their most compelling and emotionally resonant works yet with Formal Growth In The Desert, their sixth studio album released in 2023 on Domino Records. The record finds the band expanding their signature jagged, atmospheric sound with subtle new textures — including pedal steel guitar that edges the album toward shoegaze territory — while frontman Joe Casey remains as lyrically sharp and endlessly quotable as ever.
This release stands out as a deeply personal record for the band, featuring some of their most tender and direct songwriting to date, including an emotional ode to Casey's late mother. Beyond the music itself, this vinyl edition comes packed with extras for fans and collectors alike, including a 22x22" poster and a 24-page zine that make it a truly immersive artifact of one of modern rock's most consistently inventive bands.
