Strawberry Pills ‎- Murder To A Beat (2020)

Strawberry Pills release their debut album “Murder To A Beat”.

The album title is inspired by the queen of crime, Agatha Christie. The idea is that right before a live performance Strawberry Pills were poisoned, but by whom? Who of all of their songs protagonists did it…?

“Murder To A Beat” combines elements of fiction, horror, death and romance. Everything is pervaded by darkness, mystery, cynicism and enigma. Massively inspired by various forms of art. From film noir and crime fiction to the art movement of symbolism (Gustave Moreau) and photography. For example “Voyeur”, the opening track of the album, is an ode to Guy Bourdin’s voyeuristic photography while “Porcelain Face” is about an alluring femme fatale.

Sonically, with this album Strawberry Pills aim for a fresh dark sound while paying homage to the ’80’s.

Out on LP and Digital album via Inner Ear.
