Formal Growth in the Desert

by Protomartyr

Formal Growth in the Desert cover art

Deeply influenced by frontman Joe Casey's personal losses and experiences in the Texas desert, this record introduces pedal steel and broader cinematic arrangements to the band's typically rigid post-punk formula. It presents a slightly more optimistic, enduring lyrical perspective without sacrificing their signature tension.
