The first full length release by Murder Mystery on Workerbee Records finds the band mining the similar indie-rock territory of their previous EP's--while also working in a range of rock, blues, and psychedelia. The songs cover a variety of topics. Opening track ‘Bat Song’ is a literal translation of bass player Ken Kochadja’s encounter with a bat in his home. Other songs discuss impending parenthood (‘Kiddo’/’Duel’) and still others broach the difficult subjects of divorce/suicide (‘Groove is Almighty’/’Work’/’Anyway’). Nicole Johnson (formerly in Rise of the Peaceballoon)sings back-up vocals on ‘Groove is Almighty’ and Jeremy Cybulski, of the Beggars, plays banjo on the closing track ‘Pocket’. Dan Bernard—who most recently appeared on singer-songwriter Sunil Sawani’s ‘How Does It Know?’—lends his ample drum chops to ‘Charlie Chaplin, Time Traveler’. A video game titled ‘Secret Agent Panda Galore’ was released to coincide with the album. The game contains 3 full levels and 8 sub-levels. Players shoot their way through video game versions of Detroit landmarks while being treated to album out-takes and studio jams. Finally, they square off against a macabre version of former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Murder Mystery began in the college town of Mt. Pleasant in 1999 before relocating to Detroit and signing with DetroitSounds Records in 2003. The band released a full-length album and an EP before leaving the label in 2005. After recording music for a documentary on boogie-woogie pianist Bob Seeley the band self-released three EP’s. The band signed with Workerbee Records in 2009 and released ‘Owl’, an EP, later that year.
