I have always had a soft spot in my heart for O’Death. I think with each album the goth-folk band continues to refine their sound for the better. Out Of Hands We Go sees the band turning the lovely state of Maine into their second home. Here is some info on the new album and two new tracks.

The band convened in South Portland, ME, to work with lo-fi recording guru, Caleb Mulkerin (Big Blood, Fire On Fire, Cerberus Shoal) and to take advantage of the homey space in Biddeford they had performed in many times since 2011. On Out of Hands We Go, odeath return to a focus on live performances with Jamies voice and lyrics planted firmly in the center of the bands dynamic arrangements, a stark departure from the multi-tracked and meticulously overdubbed Outside.

Greg Jamies strength as a lyricist is his ability to create evocative images and details that come together to form a narrative if the listener is ready to walk the path. Out of Hands We Go contains stories of a more personal nature, abandoning horror-film vignettes in favor of heartbreak (Heal In The Howling, Herd, Apple Moon,), defiance (Roam, Wrong Time, Wait For Fire) and ultimately triumph (All Is Light, We Had A Vision) before culminating in the climactic Isavelle that fires on all dramatic cylinders.
