Formal Growth in the Desert is the sixth studio album by American post-punk band Protomartyr, released on June 2, 2023 on Domino Records. Produced by guitarist Greg Ahee and Jake Aron, the album was recorded over two weeks in August 2022 at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas.
Preceded by the singles, "Make Way", "Elimination Dances" and "Polacrilex Kid", the album was released to critical acclaim, with its lyrical content influenced by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which had affected the release of the band's previous studio album, Ultimate Success Today (2020); the death of frontman Joe Casey's mother, and his recent engagement.
