They may call Bloomington, Indiana, home, but since their 2000 formation, Murder by Death have been a band without musical borders. Theirs is a world where Old West murder ballads mingle with rock-injected Western classicism; where an album’s sequencing can take listeners from a haunted back alley in rural Mexico to a raucous Irish pub. All of which is to say, Murder by Death albums don’t just string together songs; they create experiences. With their fifth album, Good Morning, Magpie (04/06/10), Murder by Death continue the tradition of border expansion that drove career standouts like 2006’s In Bocca al Lupo and 2008’s Red of Tooth and Claw.
In 2009, Murder By Death created the instrumental soundtrack for Finch, a novel by Jeff VanderMeer (Steampunk Reloaded, The Steampunk Bible). Give a listen or download here!

Murder by Death is truly amazing. I wish there was another concert in Bloomington IN cause there last concert was breathtaking literally haha i passed out. Me and my friends are college students at Purdue so we are to poor to make it to New Jersey but it sounds like it would be amazing to go to.
