Murder by Death The Other Shore

Murder by Death releasing new LP, touring (stream a track, win tix to NYC)

Goth-country staples Murder by Death are releasing a new album, The Other Shore, on August 24 via Bloodshot Records (pre-order). According to the label, the album is “a space-western about a ravaged Earth, its fleeing populace, and a relationship in jeopardy” and it “sonically captures the mood of two lovers choosing separate paths, one who stays on Earth and one who leaves it.” It was recorded by Kevin Ratterman and Anne Gauthier.

We’re premiering the lead single “True Dark,” which has all the creepy, haunting, Americana-tinged rock you’d expect from MBD, aided by some ominous cello and some nice falsetto “ooh”s in the chorus. It’s promising stuff, as you can hear for yourself below.

As mentioned, Murder by Death are also touring this year. The tour wraps up in the Northeast, including three NYC-area shows: Manhattan’s Bowery Ballroom on 10/17 (tickets), Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on 10/19 (tickets), and Asbury Park’s Asbury Lanes on 10/20 (tickets).

We’re also giving away a pair of tickets to the Music Hall of Williamsburg show. Enter via the widget below for a chance to win. A winner will be chosen at random and contacted with more details. Good luck!
