The members of Murder by Death have aptly referred to their brand of gothic, old-West tunes as “dark whiskey devil music.” They have a plethora of songs that serve as musical yarns concerning revenge, or murder, or any number of tragic themes for that matter. Concept albums about the devil destroying an entire town in Mexico sit side by side with tales of pirates at sea or odes to Kentucky bourbon. Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon fits perfectly within the band’s wheelhouse, but it also serves as step forward in their music. “My Hill” is a mournful number that opens the record with a slow burn before transitioning into “Lost River,” a soul-lifting song that is the first indication the band decided to expand their sound on this album. Murder by Death’s music has always featured a slightly orchestral element due to cellist Sarah Balliet’s incredible contributions.

Sep 25, 2012. The members of Murder by Death have aptly referred to their brand of gothic, old-West tunes as “dark whiskey devil music.”.

The band has been increasingly experimenting with upbeat songs over the course of their career. Curso De Ingles Mp3 Download Gratis Audio here. However, as frontman Adam Turla has said before, “upbeat” doesn’t necessarily mean “happy,” and the same is true with the material on the band’s most recent effort. But never before has Murder by Death sounded so uplifting.

Several of the tracks affect a sensation that seems to draw inspiration from the likes of Arcade Fire or Karen O’s soundtrack to. Side A of the album is characterized by an emotional high with raucous bar sing-alongs like the record’s single “I Came Around” and “Hard World.” But the second half of Bitter Drink takes on a more somber attitude. “Queen Mab” is a dark, instrumental track that perfectly captures the gloomy atmosphere that plays host to songs like “Oh, To Be an Animal,” which contains the refrain “It’s the loneliest of times.” Turla’s low, baritone voice has oft been compared to the legendary Johnny Cash, but “Go to the Light”—a song about, you guessed it, death—is one of the best cases for such a claim.

“Ghost Fields” closes the album perfectly with a moving number that, at its roots, feels like a country song, but the horns, crashing drums and heavy guitars that are present later in the track transform the song into a sweeping epic. “She bends with the wind, and he shifts like sand,” Turla sings poetically before unnecessarily apologizing. “I try to explain, but I’m not an eloquent man.” Put simply, Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon is Murder by Death’s most beautiful album to date. It is a robust record brimming with all the qualities we love about the band while taking the music in a new direction.

This is a band that has somehow managed to fly just under the radar of most, but if there was ever an album to put them on the map, it’s this one.

Song of Myself By 1819-1892 1 I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. Creeds and schools in abeyance, Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten, I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard, Nature without check with original energy.

2 Houses and rooms are full of perfumes, the shelves are crowded with perfumes, I breathe the fragrance myself and know it and like it, The distillation would intoxicate me also, but I shall not let it. The atmosphere is not a perfume, it has no taste of the distillation, it is odorless, It is for my mouth forever, I am in love with it, I will go to the bank by the wood and become undisguised and naked, I am mad for it to be in contact with me.
