New Album / Single | O’Death – Bugs

Published January 27, 2011 By Kyle Mitchell

Bugs

O’Death just announced they’d be releasing a new album in April.  The album, entitled ‘Outside,’ will be released by Ernest Jenning Records on April 19th.  The lead single, Bugs, starts off a fragile quietly strummed folk track, and quickly explodes and retracts again and again.  This kind of tempo change is what makes O’Death so much fun to see, they evoke a certain free flowing ability to create a dramatic tension, and ultimately release it in their songs.  This style made them stand out during a fantastic show at this past Newport Folk Festival.

O’Death will be touring extensively leading up to the record’s release on April 19th.  See below for dates.

The mix between tradition musical elements and electronic accompaniments stand out to make their sound even more beautiful. Grab their EP now, its only $5 and…
