Murder By Death is saying goodbye with their final album, Egg & Dart, and a farewell tour. The tour will begin on June 6th in Bloomington, Indiana and will span all the way through November before concluding in Louisville, Kentucky. The tour will feature support from Laura Jane Grace, William Elliot Whitmore, AJJ, Shawn James, BJ Barham, and J Roddy Walston in select cities. Grab your tickets while supplies last.
The indie-rock band is set to release their final album this summer. The album represents the duality of life (the egg) and death (the arrow). It is full of songs about goodbyes, the saddest album Murder By Death has written to date.
“If you’re new to Murder By Death, we’ve been making spooky gothic-western indie for 25 years, starting out playing hundreds of shows in basements, DIY spaces, bars and small clubs. We have always had a very hands-on approach: this album is completely self-released, and we have assembled a team of a ton of great folks to help us work it.”
