REVIEW: Protomartyr – ‘Ultimate Success Today’ (Domino)

A perfect soundtrack for uncertain, anxious times as well as a finessing of their own art form, ‘Ultimate Success Today’ is Protomartyr’s best album yet.

On sixth album ‘2020’, Richard Dawson narrates our modern, hyper-branded, anxious and rushed world.

Weaving something unmistakably fantastical into his bedroom pop aesthetic, Alex Giannascoli ascends to a new level on his latest (Sandy) Alex G album ‘House Of Sugar’.
