Murder By Death score soundtrack

Suburban Home Records will distribute the latest project from Murder By Death, which is an instrumental score for a a science fiction/fantasy/horror novel titled Finch, written by Jeff Vandermeer.

The band posted the following comments about the project:

"Jeff approached Murder By Death about doing a soundtrack to go with the limited edition of his new book, and we thought it was such a strange idea we had to do it. The book reminds us of Bladerunner- with spore-faced bad guys. Bitchin'. We locked ourselves up in our friend's studio (Farm Fresh) here in Bloomington, IN for 5 days and wrote and recorded an instrumental album inspired by the book. Our old pianist Vincent Edwards lent his hand(s) at the piano, organs, and Rhodes. Each song is attempting to recreate a scene or mood from the book."

Murder By Death last released 'Red Of Tooth and Claw' in 2007.
