Protomartyr - Consolation (EP)

Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. Protomartyr follow-up their critically acclaimed Domino debut, Relatives In Descent (2017) with the ConsolationEP, a 4-track collection of new material recorded in collaboration with Kelley Deal (The Breeders) and Mike Montgomery (R. Ring, Ampline). Captured at Montgomery's own studio, Candyland, the EP encapsulates the breadth of mood and stylistic variety of a full-length Protomartyr album - from the short sharp shock of the opener "Wait," through the mutant pop of "Same Face In A Different Mirror," the epic "Wheel of Fortune," to the beautiful closer "You Always Win." Add to this Montgomery'ss recording skills, Deal's unparalleled vocals, and the arrangements that see the inclusion of Jocelyn Hatch (viola), Evan Ziporyn (bass clarinet), and Lori Goldston (cello), and the EP becomes a truly unique prospect in Protomartyr's discography.
