The first release in what would become a trilogy of albums featuring the word "descent" or "success" in the title, "Consolation" served as a potent B-side collection. The tracks here find the band at their most raw and unvarnished, documenting their relentless commitment to a specific kind of atmospheric, driving post-punk.
- The tracks on "Consolation" were recorded during the same sessions as their 2017 album "Relatives in Descent."
- The release was announced with the single "Wheel of Fortune," a driving track that featured guest vocals from David Vanian of The Damned.
- "Consolation" charted at number 37 on the UK Official Independent Albums Chart.
Protomartyr is a post-punk band from Detroit, Michigan, known for their bleak, yet energetic sound. "Consolation" arrived in the middle of their tenure with Domino Recording Co., following "Relatives in Descent" and preceding "Ultimate Success Today."
