Murder By Death - Red Of Tooth And Claw
Murder By Death is a four-piece from Texas, Detroit and Kentucky. They now make their cello‘n’rock’n'roll music in Indiana. Red Of Tooth And Claw is full of dark, rumbling, drink-hazed scenes of sin, redemption and guilt. Adam Turla’s low baritone growls sound like a Nick Cave from the Deep South in an argument with Tom Waits. He sings with considerable energy about Old West drama with Old Testament judgement. It starts well with an uptempo opener in ‘Comin’ Home’, but after that it descends into generic rock. There are no real standout songs and one average track moves to the next almost without notice. There’s potential here, but it never really finds its feet. Andrew Williamson
