Protomartyr are releasing a new EP this spring, and it features Kelley Deal of The Breeders.
Their ‘Consolation’ EP is four tracks in length, with Kelley appearing on both ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘You Win Again’.
“For Mike and I, working on this EP with Protomartyr was a re-kindling of the tender spark that was struck upon our first encounter with them years ago in Texas,” says Kelley.
“They were graciously tolerant and receptive to my production ideas on the songs and the project quickly grew beyond our private orb. We have cello from Lori Goldston, viola from Jocelyn Hach and even bass clarinet from Evan Ziporyn, and I do some singing with Joe.
“There’s a lot of trust involved when an artist places their songs in your hands, and we were very mindful of that while intentionally trying to take the songs in new directions.
“This is the second project like this we’ve done with them, so we’re ready to flip the tables and have them produce and record some of our songs!”
The ‘Consolation’ EP will be released on 15th June via Domino. Watch ‘Wheel of Fortune’ below.
