Goodbye, Killer by The Pernice Brothers is the band’s first album since 2006’s Live a Little. In several weeks-long bursts of work over the course of a couple of years, in between writing a novel, recording a soundtrack for said novel, touring on both, and doing real-life things, Joe, his brother Bob, and long-time collaborators James Walbourne and Ric Menck holed up in an attic in Boston and recorded these 10 Pernice originals.

Goodbye, Killer includes the full on rock ‘n rollers Jacqueline Susann and Bechamel,signature pop songs The Great Depression and Fucking and Flowers, the Scuds-esque Newport News and The End of Faith – it’s all good stuff! Pernice refers to the undeniably show tune-y number We Love the Stage as his “homage to vaudeville, indie rock and learning to love betting against yourself.”

The album is out on One Little Indian in June. Visit the band’s website here.
