The Agent Intellect
Consider the urgency with which Protomartyr has approached everything
—three albums in three years, each more extraordinary and rewarding than
the last. This music is inherently, unassumingly high stakes. This
October marks the release of The Agent Intellect, their third
and finest work to date. Named after an ancient philosophical
questioning of how the mind operates in relation to the self, it’s an
elegant and often devastating display of all that makes Protomartyr so
vital and singularly visceral an outfit.
