Our Take

Manchester-based post-punk quartet Ist Ist have returned with their latest album, "Protagonists," and it's safe to say that they have once again proven why they are considered one of the most exciting bands in the UK right now. From the moment the haunting opening track "Black" kicks in, you know you're in for a ride. The band's signature brooding basslines and atmospheric guitar work create a mesmerising backdrop for frontman Adam Houghton's moody vocals to take centre stage. Tracks such as "You're Mine" and "Pitfalls" showcase the band's ability to build tension and release it in the most satisfying way possible. The pulsating rhythms and swirling guitars keep you on edge, never quite sure where the song will take you next. But it's not all doom and gloom with Ist Ist. Tracks like "Silhouettes" and "Night's Arm" offer moments of respite, with delicate melodies and shimmering guitars that provide a welcome contrast to the darker themes explored throughout the album. Overall, "Protagonists" is a masterclass in modern post-punk, with Ist Ist displaying a level of maturity and confidence that is truly impressive. If you're a fan of bands like Editors or Interpol, this album is a must-listen. Just make sure you're prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that awaits.
