For over 20 years since their formation, the band has depicted the dark underbelly of modern society and human contradictions through sharp lyrics and tense sounds. This album is a heartfelt work in which they confront the anxiety and chaos plaguing the world today.\n\nThe album was produced by Dave Fridmann (Sleater-Kinney, MGMT, The Flaming Lips, and others). Frontman Joe Casey likens the United States to a dilapidated hotel, using each track to depict the various problems and ghosts lurking within it.\n\nBuilding on a post-punk foundation, the band incorporates elements of Middle Eastern music, ’50s exotica, Krautrock-style repetition, and grand orchestration to construct a unique sonic world where fear and beauty, anger and humor coexist. Heavy drums, meticulous arrangements, and Casey’s intelligent, ironic vocals lend the entire work a powerful presence.\n\nAs symbolized by “Sounds We Cannot Hear,” *Hotel Usona* is by no means an album that seeks easy listenability. However, it is an indispensable rock album that reflects the anxiety and sense of dislocation we all feel living in the modern world. It stands as Protomartyr’s most epic and powerful work to date—a new masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.The Old Hotel\u003cbr\u003e2.Sounds We Cannot Hear\u003cbr\u003e3.Converts\u003cbr\u003e4.Exalted Eagles\u003cbr\u003e5.The Knife Dream\u003cbr\u003e6.Feed the Sewer\u003cbr\u003e7.Lavender ?
