Detroit’s Protomartyr sharpened their bleak yet magnetic post-punk vision with 'Under Color of Official Right', their sophomore album and first release for Hardly Art. Recorded with a taut, economical approach, the record captures jagged guitars, tense rhythms, and Joe Casey’s cutting lyricism, drawing listeners into a world of stark urban narratives and unsettling wit.

The album thrives on its balance of minimalism and urgency, creating moments that are as hypnotic as they are confrontational. Tracks like "Scum, Rise!" and "Maidenhead" channel raw energy through angular riffs, while slower, brooding cuts expose the band’s sardonic, reflective edge. Comparisons to Pere Ubu and The Fall are inevitable, yet Protomartyr’s voice is distinct, unflinching, and wholly their own, cementing this release as a pivotal entry in modern post-punk.
