O’ Death: Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin

O’ Death’s third album, Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin, came out a few months ago on Kemado Records and tracks have been recently popping up on the iTunes, so I thought I’d mention it here. So many things came out last year that I didn’t get a chance to write about due to my hiatus from the P&S, and this is one of them.

I was blown away by O’ Death’s Head Home, and was pleasantly surprised to hear an even more invigorated band with a sort of crooked smile ornery jubilance to them. While sounding even tighter instrumentally, they have been able to harness their live performances like never before; like musical heroin, drawing in their blood and tears and allowing it to mix fluidly with their live maniac musical drug. There is so much energy and revelry on this album; going to the limit, going to the edge…O’ Death has produced the perfect blend of a backwoods gypsical celebration and blood soaked linens on the line.

Without a doubt O’Death’s finest hour…
