Although the band would get back together

Murder by Death "Big Dark Love" 2023-07-07 Joe Escalante and Josh FreeseBig Dark Love reflects a different, bigger, and 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.
