Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon adds a further refined sophistication to Murder By Death's already well-defined brooding and full-bodied sound. This is the band's first release featuring multi-instrumentalist Scott Brackett (formerly of Okkervil River & Shearwater) and was produced by John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, St. Vincent, Black Mountain). For a hard-touring band with an already rich, impressive catalog and scores of dedicated fans world-wide, Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon just might be their finest moment yet.
'They brawl like Johnny Cash's cellmates, or dreamily swoon like Nick Cave, stomping saloon floorboards in 4/4 time as grand strings fade to high noon.' - SPIN
