Murder by Death

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Indiana-based Murder by Death first caught the attention of Thursday's Geoff Rickly while playing a gig together one night in their hometown of Bloomington, IN. Rickly promptly brought the band, then called Little Joe Gould, to the attention of his friend Alex Saavedra (Eyeball Records owner), and the group was signed immediately. The band was comprised of vocalist/guitarist Adam Turla, drummer Alex Schrodt, bassist Matt Armstrong, cellist Sarah Balliet, and pianist Vincent Edwards. They issued a 2001 self-titled EP as Little Joe Gould befor...[more]

 

 

Finch is an instrumental soundtrack to a book of the same name by Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror author Jeff Vanermeer. He approached Murder By Death about doing a soundtrack to go with the limited edition of his new book, and the band thought it was such a strange idea they had to do it.

VINYL FORMAT. Bloomington, Indiana's Murder By Death is part horror movie climax, part western barroom brawl, and a dash of wintery and ambling layers reminiscent of the Cure. Their sophomore album, "Who Will Survive and What WIll Be Left of Them" is being described in hushed tones as one of the most innovative and well-executed records of the year.

VINYL FORMAT. Though they've had eight years to refine their sound and vision, Murder By Death rolled out of the gates fully realized in 2000, playing a blend of rocking Americana noir and dramatic post-punk that erased old style and audience boundaries as much as it tested the limits of new ones.

There's something about the idea of the Old West -- the lawlessness, the dry, dusty landscape, perhaps -- that appeals to the sinner in everyone (it's no coincidence that Vegas is in the desert), something seen and reflected in John Ford movies or Ennio Morricone film scores. Maybe it's all the empty space, or maybe it's the heat that seems to make people forget about civility and resort to more carnal emotion to settle things.
