CAPPO/DEINCO 734‑996‑1991 SUMMER EMPLOYMENT FOR RENT SERVICES HELP WANTED Stronger ‘Carter’ By SOPHIA KAUFMAN Daily Arts Writer “Agent Carter” had a strong first season. The premiere and finale were solid, and the overall story was intelligently crafted and skill- fully executed. The second sea- son’s premiere, “The Lady in the Lake,” carries over all the com- pelling elements of the first, while also establishing some new, even stronger story- lines. In its beginning season, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, “Captain America: The First Avenger”) had to struggle with overt and covert sexist behavior from her superiors and co-workers, constantly need- ing to prove that she was just as capable as the men. In the first few minutes of the premiere, we see the men’s shifted perspective. Her cur- rent chief, Jack Thompson (Chad Michael Murray, “One Tree Hill”), trusts her to begin the interroga- tion of Dottie (Bridget Regan, “Jane the Virgin”) as others watch from behind a mirror, commenting on how impressed they are with her technique. When Thompson sends Peggy to Los Angeles per Daniel Sousa’s (Enver Gjokaj, “Dollhouse”) request for a talented agent, Mur- ray and Atwell convey that the ten- sion between them isn’t predicated upon a lack of respect — but rather a desire on Thompson’s part to move ahead in his career. When Carter arrives in Cali- fornia, there is some uneasiness between Sousa, now the chief of the S.S.R.’s West Coast branch, and Peggy, but the romantic sub- plot exposition doesn’t derail from the actual plot — solving a strange murder case involving a woman’s body encased in a block of frozen lake water. Edwin Jarvis (James D’Arcy, “Broadchurch”), Peggy’s ally from the first season, introduces her to his wife, who is a little too wide- eyed to seem real. It’s the only scene in the episode that feels forced, but Mrs. Jarvis (Lotte Ver- beek, “The Fault in Our Stars”) makes up for the awkwardness when she gives Peggy the kind of present every woman truly wants — a garter that also functions as a holster. A new villain, Whitney Frost (Wynn Everett, “The Newsroom”) is introduced, ill will simmering under the polite conversations she holds with other characters, and there’s also a new romantic interest for Peggy, Dr. Jason Wil- kes (Reggie Austin, “The Omen”), who may or may not be in cahoots with Frost. With the inclusion of Wilkes’s character, the writing of the premiere sets up conversations about the racial discrimination of the time period. Wilkes and Carter have an understanding look in their eyes when they speak to one anoth- er; their chemistry feels natural. As always in “Agent Carter,” the dialogue is organic, and the actors deliver it well. There’s even a cute nod to today’s popular jargon — when Jarvis is injured, and Peggy reassures him that he’ll live, he replies crossly, “Of course I’ll live. I’m worried about the aesthetic.” The elegance of the shots of 1940s New York in the first season is echoed in the second season’s glamorous shots of Old Hollywood, in setting, costuming and makeup. Subtly chic details, like the color of Peggy’s sunglasses matching her lipstick, create an aesthetically rich viewing experience. The first shot of “The Lady in the Lake”— a perky red hat bobbing along in a sea of grey suits — is beautifully framed and reminiscent of the contrasts between Peggy and her male co- workers in the first season, but the differences of the power structures this season are emphasized when it is revealed that the red hat belongs to Dottie, not Peggy. The beauty of “Agent Carter” never detracts from the story, nor from the themes that organically arise from it. Neither Carter nor the female antagonists are weaker for their femininity, nor do they apolo- gize for it. Peggy Carter and co. are continuing a conversation that they helped start with the first season, which was followed by the likes of “Supergirl” and more recently (and successfully) “Jessica Jones” about whether there’s space and/or inter- est for female superheros. Peggy might not have powers, but she doesn’t need them. As she proves over and over, she can still kick anyone’s ass. A- Agent Carter Season 2 Premiere Thursdays at 9 p.m. ABC TV REVIEW MUSIC INTERVIEW Exclusive interview with Protomartyr By REGAN DETWILER Daily Arts Writer Detroit-based Protomartyr, a post-punk foursome with a sound that’s mellow yet explor- ative, but still angry, released in October The Agent Intel- lect, their third and without a doubt their best, album in four years. Frontman Joe Casey, guitarist Greg Ahee, drum- mer Alex Leonard and bassist Scott Davidson are alumni of the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy, and who have been playing local gigs for years. The funny thing is, Casey is a whole 10 years older than the others. With their upcoming tour including a stop at the Blind Pig on Jan. 29, I had a chance to sit down for a chat with the group’s dark-humored and semi-fatalistic front man and talk about the tour, the albums and the emotions thus far. TMD: I know you guys have had three albums in four years, which is very impressive. What were some of the driving forces behind this latest release? JC: Well, we wanted to kind of keep recording as fast as we could. We had a bunch of songs ready to go, so our sec- ond album pretty much started with our new stuff right away. We tried to keep working as much as we could ... We decid- ed to go back, for this record, back to the same studio. We felt like we wanted to record in the same studio just to see what it would be like to go back to a place where we now feel com- fortable, whereas the first time we were kind of like in awe of being in a studio for three days ... it was amazing, whereas the first record, we recorded in a day. Now we have a whole week! We really wanted to kind of use the studio as much as possible. TMD: It really seems like you guys are just constantly creating music. How can you describe your creative pro- cess, if you want to use that terminology? JC: Laughs. I don’t! You know, it’s unfortunate because we work pretty hard ... We’re about to go out on this tour where we’re gonna be gone until the end of July. That’s the first time that’s ever happened. And I don’t think we’re neces- sarily a band who can come up with new stuff on the road. You hear stories about somebody recording something in a hotel room or something but ... we’re still a band who can’t stay in a hotel room — we have to sleep on some floors. So yeah, I don’t know how people can record on the road. I don’t think there’ll be another album coming out this year. TMD: So what is this urgency behind creating? Why the four albums in three years? JC: Well, I feel like there are two drastic extremes for put- ting music out: one is to spend a long time working on it, like three or four years, and anoth- er is to record it really fast and put it up online. I like to think we’re somewhere in the middle. Putting out an album, especially nowadays where you can just throw it up online, you can come up with an idea and record it and put it online. So there are people that have released a lot more stuff than we have, but I think we’re actu- ally somewhere in the middle where we take a little bit of time, work on it, and then we move on to the next thing. And we do put in a lot of work and effort, especially into the last two records ... but then after a while you just kind of have to let it go. And also, a band itself ... most bands don’t last more than five years. On average, some bands only last a couple weeks. You know, you can’t find a drummer or something. There are few bands who have that creative spark. TMD: Definitely, definite- ly. A little fatalistic. JC: Laughs. TMD: Going off of what you were saying about that perfect piece, I think what fans love about what Pro- tomartyr has done is that it does have that kind of raw feel. Now we have so much music that’s recorded and then edited, so you end up with that perfect product at the end. But I think people like that raw sound that you guys have. Some people have even described you as giving this kind of musical realism. Comments? JC: Well, you know, you can live in a world where you lis- ten to very smooth, perfectly constructed music and enjoy it. If you think music is kind of like visual art, some very raw things are still considered art. There are some things that are sculpted out of marble and took decades to make. And a world can exist where both of those things are going on. There’s a book that just came out about the Swedes or whatever who make pretty much every hit song that all have the same things in them. There’s really only one or two people writing the Top 40. That happens and people get sick of it. They want something raw. I don’t know if we’re very musical-realistic but you know ... we want to sound better but I guess we sound as good as we are. Laughs. The band is getting better but we play at our level. TMD: No, you guys sound great. It’s a realistic response. JC: Laughs. TMD: People are describ- ing Agent Intellect as your best work. Do you think this album is a departure from what you’ve done in the past? JC: No, I’d call it a continua- tion. And, you know, it’s always a good sign when people tell you it’s the best. What’s inter- esting is understanding that people respond. I’m not going to say, ‘Oh, I can take that bad review’ because I can’t. You’re responding to it. So it’s good to see people are thinking that we’re developing or get- ting better or changing. That’s good.
