Our Take

Protomartyr's Consolation E.P. is like a fine wine - complex, bold, and best enjoyed with a good cheese platter. This Detroit outfit has a knack for combining post-punk grit with a touch of melodic charm, and this latest offering is no exception.

Opening track "Wait" sets the tone with its driving bassline and frontman Joe Casey's trademark deadpan delivery. It's a slow burner that gradually builds to a cathartic climax, leaving you both satisfied and craving more.

"Same Face in a Different Mirror" sees Protomartyr at their most anthemic, with swirling guitars and a chorus that will have you shouting along in no time. It's a standout track that showcases the band's ability to marry catchy hooks with their signature dark lyrics.

The EP's title track, "Consolation," is a brooding ballad that delves into themes of loss and longing. Casey's vocals are hauntingly beautiful, drawing you in with their raw emotion and vulnerability.

Overall, Consolation E.P. is a strong addition to Protomartyr's discography, showcasing their growth as a band while staying true to their post-punk roots. It's a must-listen for fans of alternative music looking for something fresh and exciting. Grab a glass of wine, put on this EP, and let Protomartyr take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
