31 Songs About Death

adam millard Amazing as always! The last track is my favourite as it sounds like one of Mogwai's "loud bits". Favorite track: Day 31.

Gavin Hellyer A great and original (as usual) record from a favourite artist of mine. The tracks each have a video as accompaniment. Favorite track: Day 10.

about

31 Songs About Death is the result of an attempt to make a new piece of music every day during January 2021.

Well, I did it, and now here we are. 31 mini bops, half songs, and top drawer bangers 🤘

While I was recording each day, I found an old-timey radio station that ran nothing but murder mystery radio dramas, so I had no choice but to sample bits of dialogue here and there, and so a theme began to appear.

So yeah, I thought "31 Songs About Death" would be a funny title. And also I couldn't think of anything else.

Next year, 31 Songs About Cats instead.

There are also videos for each track, some are pretty cool. Days 10, 13 and 14 are stone cold masterpieces. Well worth watching if videos are your thing. Find them here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXFyQpAJN-7quThvoRwylC3esxTZuBF_a

released February 5, 2021

After I've slept for a few weeks, I want to continue working on many of these songs, so expect to hear longer versions in the future. Let me know which ones I should aim for first?

Remember: Cats > Murder.

Probably my favourite Benjamin Shaw album. It certainly feels like his most optimistic and most forgiving. Benjamin Shaw reaches into the muck and pulls out kernels of exquisite, hopeful beauty, both emotionally and musically. alwbsok

Tragedy, Doom & So On
by Megadead

supported by 34 fans who also own “31 Songs About Death”

Deeply moving and very melodic essentially instrumental music from Ben. This is clearly felt out of the artist's assessment of some difficult times in his life. The occasional voice samples also work very effectively. Gavin Hellyer
