After securing their status as one of Manchester’s most exciting acts with their 2020 debut Architecture, and then consolidating the title with its 2021 follow-up The Art of Lying; new album Protagonists arrives as something of a new dawn for the four-piece. “This was our first straightforward album, which sounds strange given it’s the third one. Our first album was a little bit of a back catalogue, and the rest was written in the same vein to have a coherent record. The second album was a complete stab in the dark and written and recorded during lockdown restrictions, but it broke us into the top 100. Protagonists feels like the first album where there’s no pressure and one where we can cut loose."
