Over the last 15 years, Murder by Death have quietly proven themselves to be the best in the game when it comes to longform yarn-spinning. Each of their six albums touches upon its own theme, brilliantly weaving in various vignettes, stories, and elements as parts of a larger narrative, with every song earning its own odd place. - Noisey

Big Dark Love is now available for pre-order on CD and LP via Bloodshot's website (https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/big-dark-love) or digitally via iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/big-dark-love/id948833281), in which purchasing parties will receive an instant MP3 download of album's lead single, "Strange Eyes."

Big Dark Love reflects a different, more complex side of the band. As hinted in the title, the 10 songs circle a central theme of love, only in this case, the oft-traveled topic is examined through a non-traditional kaleidoscope: the love of a parent for their child, the struggle between unconditional love and morality, loving to excess. There can sometimes be a dusky patina of despair overlaying glints of hope. For a band that has built its formidable, near 15-year career around a consideration to tension, release, bombast, ecstasy, and highest-highs vs. lowest-lows, it is something to say that this is Murder By Death's most dynamic release to date. Sonically here, their signature sound - rootsy indie rock, cinematic gothic ballads, and rousing pub rock shout-alongs - mixes with enlivening new stylistic elements - touches of pop, synth-y electronics, and psych rock - only hinted at on previous albums.
