The agent intellect

"Post-punk working stiffs find some humanity in the murk and gloom ... Detroit's Protomartyr come from a long, proud line of post-punk bands with a less than cheerful attitude. For frontman Joe Casey and company, it's been a long road out of Motor City obscurity; on last year's raw, poignant breakthrough Under Color of Official Right, Casey ranted and raved about everything from corrupt city mayors to drunken deadbeat dads. Now, with their third and best full-length, one might expect Protomartyr to be reveling in their redemption - but The Agent Intellect isn't that album".
