There have been innumerous responses to the current incumbernt and imperial regime of the White House . The one thing the current global climate is surely good for is in terms of generating cultural responses. Protomartyr's seventh album Hotel Usona is probably as good as it gets.
Horror, disgust, dread, disdain, poetry and an almost tangible glee are all stirred into the mix. The resulting album is furiously entertaining and relentless. It's all incredibly ambitious and builds an extraordinary tension. Musically the band cast their net further than they have done previously. This is racheted up to a glorious and sustained degree. A masterful record.
