Everybody gonna die someday, but with Electric Six's new album, you no longer have to worry about any of it.

Electric Six understands all this stuff as it prepares to unveil its eleventh studio album Bitch, Don't Let Me Die!, which will be released on October 6 on Metropolis Records. The album is steeped in themes of mortality, death, discorporation and discoloration...all while it tries to convince you it is actually a work of art, a labour of love.

From the pounding, driving opener, 'Drone Strikes', through the 1970s guitar anthem 'Two Dollar Two', Bitch, Don't Let Me Die! reveals that Electric Six knows that it is going to die, but will not go out quietly. From there, the album moves through the pop goodness of 'Kids Are Evil' and 'A Variation of Elaine', the prog-rock showmanship of 'Slow Motion Man', and even a tribute to Elvis Presley in his more rotund years with 'Dime Dime Penny Dime'.

'Big Red Arthur' is the anchor track of the album, as it emits a rock-opera bombast that is reminiscent of Radiohead sodomizing David Bowie in the center of his mind. It, like most of the songs on this record, is about death...but it's kind of funny because it's only about the death of a fake, out-of-shape drunk Santa Claus who is too fucking stupid to make it down the chimney correctly. In this case, we just end up laughing at death. And that's uplifting.

To summarize, mortality is everywhere, and this fall, thanks to their new record Bitch, Don't Let Me Die!, Electric Six will be everywhere too. Everybody gonna die someday, but with Electric Six's new album, you no longer have to worry about any of it.
