Bandcamp's Big Ups feature ran today with Bandcamp favs from Joe Casey and Greg Ahee from Protomartyr. I love that Joe's first band was Lewsberg and Greg's first band was Cindy.

But, I really enjoyed listening to Abner Jay (on Joe's list). I'd never heard of him, but when I saw that Mississippi Records was behind the release of this, I knew it would be cool.

It's hard to pigeonhole the one-man band approach of Jay (Fitzgerald, Georgia). These songs represent some of his best work from the 60s and 70s. I can only think of Bobby Brown (Reno, Nevada). It also sounds like Chance and maybe Elvis if he had continued making music but remained unknown.

I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw that Protomartyr (Detroit, Michigan) is releasing a new album in June. Looking back in the archives, I see that the first mention of Protomartyr came in April 2015.

Since that posting, we've posted directly and indirectly about Protomartyr dozens of times. Bands like Tyvek, The Gotobeds, Bloodside (Greg Ahee is in the band), Idles and Det Jordiska have all earned comparisons over the years.

But, as you know, no one really sounds like Protomartyr. The vocals and lyrics of Joe Casey are in a league of their own. "Formal Growth in The Desert" will undoubtedly be another notch in Protomartyr's string of excellence.

Domino Recording Company is releasing this. There is a Domino Mart exclusive version available.
