about

Bits from the upcoming LPs Life is Twigs and Psychic Pinball.

""The Force Remains The Same" exudes a feeling of pulsating post-industrial psych-rock converging with robots-gone-surfing energy. There's something captivating about the song that's hard to resist. "

-Randy Radic

'Chicago trio Protovulcan are an experimental and mysterious band with a “perfectly imperfect sound” '

ghettoblastermagazine.com/perfectly-imperfect-an-interview-with-protovulcan/


"If there is a blissful universe where cacophonous, Vocoder and fuzz guitar garage rock fuses effortlessly with otherworldly, high tech sci fi prog-rock, the Chicago trio Protovulcan are rulers of it for eternity."

-Jonathan Widran

"lives up to the high standards set by the Velvets (Underground) so long ago... to say that these guys aren’t embracing their eccentric image would be absurdly inaccurate. After all, their music wouldn’t come off as confidently and seamlessly if they weren’t."

-Kim Muncie
neufutur.com/2019/01/protovulcan-life-is-twigs-psychic-pinball-ep/

"they convey emotion in its rawest form through the fearsome power of music as we’ve never heard it before"

-Joshua Corbin
ventsmagazine.com/2019/01/31/protovulcans-brand-new-life-is-twigs-psychic-pinball-ep/


"Their studious attention to detail and elegant production hand automatically make this a really exciting record for anyone who digs forward-thinking audio, and I think it will be hard to top among similar releases due out later in the year."

-Scottie Carlito
indiebandguru.com/protovulcan-split/


"a thrill ride into the heart of sonic discord that any music enthusiast would feel privileged to engage with"

-John McCall
