Protomartyr announce new album 'Formal Growth In The Desert'

Following on from the release of their highly-praised 2020 LP 'Ultimate Success Today', Protomartyr have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'Formal Growth In The Desert' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Make Way', which comes accompanied by a stunning Trevor Naud-directed video, and is set to be released on the 2nd June via Domino.

Speaking about the new visuals, director Naud said, “There's a deliberate through-line between the videos for Make Way and 2020's Worm In Heaven. The two songs feel partnered with each other. So I wanted the videos to feel like they exist in the same world. There are layers of experiments happening--all within a closed environment. We don't know what's happened to the world outside, but there's an undertone that things maybe aren't quite right."

Check out the new video for 'Make Way' in the player and see the album's full tracklisting below.
