Release Notes:
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. And with their fourth
album and Vagrant debut, Red Of Tooth And Claw (3/4/08), the Bloomington,
Indiana, quartet are emerging as true artists in the zero-boundary sense:
cinematic storytellers whose albums come together in an essential whole, and
players whose jaw-dropping performances on record make you yearn for the chance
to experience their energy up close and in person.
As much as the band's previous full-lengths—2002's Like The Exorcist, But More
Breakdancing; 2003's Who Will Survive, And What Will Be Left Of Them?; and
2006's In Bocca Al Lupo—document this evolution, Red Of Tooth And Claw finds
Murder By Death at the height of their powers. Recorded with Grammy-winning
producer Trina Shoemaker (Queens Of The Stone Age, Emmylou Harris, Iggy Pop) at
Dark Horse studios in Tennessee, the album captures the drama and nuance of
MBD's sound without compromising a lick of the band's energy. And as longtime
followers of their narrative grit—equal parts Old West drama and Old Testament
justice—will be glad to know, MBD's subject matter also hasn't softened for
album No. 4. Rife with lust, betrayal, and classical archetypes of good and
evil, Red Of Tooth And Claw is, as singer/guitarist Adam Turla puts it, a
"Homer's Odyssey of revenge, only without the honorable character at the
center."
That notion of an epic quest rings apparent from the first notes of Red Of Tooth
And Claw. Equally indebted to Eric Burdon and Johnny Cash (Turla's vocals have
never sounded so ominously haunted and low), "I'm Comin' Home" sets the album's
tone with a shuffle and a snarl. Bassist Matt Armstrong and new drummer Dagan
Thogerson drive the songs with equal parts understatement and brute force, and
cellist Sarah Balliet, whose vocabulary spans from Kentucky bluegrass to Western
classical, guides and slashes through the songs with colors both in and outside
the lines of traditional Americana.
The pace may change—see the Ennio Morricone-inspired instrumental "Theme" or the
huge, swinging confrontational lament "Black Spot"—but there's a sense of
forward momentum throughout Red Of Tooth And Claw that drives home the idea of
moving inevitably closer to… something. "With In Bocca Al Lupo, we were getting
inspiration from a basic idea—sin, in the Dante/Divine Comedy sense—and doing 12
songs that were very unique and about different people. But as a whole, it's
just an anthology of songs," says Turla. "With this one, we got the story
developed and realized that we wanted to stay moving in that direction
throughout the record. The album is kind of frantic at times, and intentionally
so: If it's an album about travel, let's actually make it sound like travel."
Murder By Death's own travels—the band have shared stages with artists as
musically and geographically far-flung as Against Me!, Rev. Horton Heat, the
Pogues, Clutch and Flogging Molly—have seasoned the band as performers, but the
m.o. for their music has existed since day one. It'll come as no surprise to
anyone who's pored over MBD's lyrics that between them, Turla and cellist Sarah
Balliet have degrees in religious studies and anthropology; however, beyond the
band members' book-smarts lies a shared love not only of American roots music,
but of the gut-level emotion at that music's core. It's one thing to be a rock
band that writes concept albums, but MBD is not drawn to the sort of clinical,
pretentious trappings usually associated with that idea. As Turla explains, "The
real energy in our songs comes from stuff like the sexual tension, the murder,
the drinking and basically any other dirt you find between the lines."
