Propter Hoc – Dramaturgy (Digital/CD Album – Cold Transmission Music)

Propter Hoc, the solo project of Scottish artist A. Harrington (John), has released his second full-length album titled Dramaturgy via Cold Transmission Music. The ten-track release explores the sociological concept of dramaturgy—the roles people perform in daily interactions—through music rooted in 1980s synth-pop and post-punk traditions. The sound draws influence from New Order, The Cure, and Erasure, leaning toward electro- and wave-pop while maintaining a darker, minimalist aesthetic. Notable for balancing melodic brightness with idiosyncratic arrangements, the album demonstrates artistic evolution without abandoning its core identity. Harrington began recording during 2020 lockdown, and his work on Cold Transmission Records has garnered positive reception, with this release earning an 8/10 rating for its engaging blend of uplifting sensibilities and sophisticated musical craftsmanship.
