Protomartyr announce new album The Agent Intellect, share new single "Why Does It Shake?"

The new LP follows last year's Under Color Of Official Right.

Protomartyr's frontman Joe Casey says that the album's first taster "Why Does It Shake?" is a "back-handed ode to humanity's resilient self regard in the face of inevitable oblivion. Then the trap door opens."

The Agent Intellect is out 9 October via Hardly Art.
