Canary Yellow Vinyl. Murder by Death has earned a much needed break. The 25 years the band has spent on the road have been catching up to them lately, so they've decided to take a step back from touring before it grinds them to dust. This year, they'll be embarking on a massive farewell tour, hitting more than 50 cities in the US, UK, and Canada. And as their parting gift, they are leaving behind their tenth album, Egg & Dart. "The album is basically an elegy," frontman Adam Turla explains. "The songs are about goodbyes and the different ways we think about that concept." And while Turla has often spun yarn about fictional sinners and tragic tales in the band's albums, the themes of Egg & Dart hit a bit closer to home than usual. "It's certainly our most personal collection of songs. It's probably our saddest and most beautiful album, but it also has moments of real triumph and joy in the darkness."
