Celebrating 10 years of this seminal album
PROTOMARTYR’S THE AGENT INTELLECT TURNS 10
“Protomartyr are heavy, man.” -Spin
“The Agent Intellect is a huge step both upward and inward. Like some fresh incarnation of Pere Ubu in its ’70s prime, the band subverts rock while rocking out, infusing angularity with an
industrialized blur of motion” -NPR
“A testament to perseverance, with world-weary humor and introspection providing flashes of clarity” -Rolling Stone
“Recalling the cavernous tones of the Birthday Party, Joy Division, Public Image Ltd. and other beaten-and-broken defeatists, the band’s fiery approach suggests that losing at life can pay dividends in the art department.” -LA Times
“An album of spindly bass, needling guitar and economical drums. And yet, with Protomartyr’s inventive ensemble flare, it sounds like much more.” -Paste
“Protomartyr’s third studio album is all the things you’d expect it to be from a band of their geography (Detroit) and countenance (stone-faced): chilling, sobering, frightening. It’s also funny, catchy, invigorating, ultimately human.” – Spin
“Writing [with] an almost Joycean grasp of detail and narrative.” -Pitchfork
“Rather than back down from the precipice of decline and confusion, Protomartyr has reported the situation as they see it in The Agent Intellect, an uncomfortable, honest and ultimately
excellent record.” -Dusted
“Catchy, moody, post-punk fun” -The Needle Drop
FEATURED ON COUNTLESS BEST OF 2015 LISTS, INCLUDING: The A.V. Club, The
Advocate, Aquarium Drunkard, Buzzfeed, Le Canal Auditif, Chicago Tribune, Consequence of
