I hope everyone had an incredible week and didn't catch any viruses!
The band providing this week's news round-up soundtrack is Protomartyr. They're an experimental post-punk act out of Detroit that, just like last week's band, features a heavy dose of poetic, spoken-word style vocals.
Their music video for the track "Processed By The Boys" is a weirdly intoxicating work of late-night Adult Swim-style art. Directed by an indie video comedy collective, it parodies a weird Brazilian TV show that became a meme, and warns of everyone being "hunted by a smile" while "being processed by the boys." The song also features a great clarinet solo.
