Protomartyr have confirmed details of their fifth album.
‘Ultimate Success Today’ will be released on May 29 via Domino Records. The Detroit natives took to Twitter to break the news, in conjunction with the release of the music video for lead single Processed By The Boys.
Directed by David Allen and Nathan Faustyn, the video is a satirical play on a Brazillian TV clip, which shows a live audience descending into chaos over a puppet. The bolshy track serves a big slice of cautsic rock with Protomartyr's rumbling guitar licks on prominent display.
The LP is set to follow 2017’s ‘Relatives In Descent’, marking Protomartyr’s first material in three years. To celebrate the release, the post-punkers will be heading out on a summer tour across North America.
UPDATE 29/04/20: Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Protomartyr have pushed back the release of the album to July 17 and cancelled their upcoming tour dates.
