New York, NY (Top40 Charts) �It is, as Klein�s music always has been, a dark and tormented affair, but it�s also one infused with black humor as well as an infectious sense of emotional defiance.� � Noisey
�With every record, this Austin band just gets gloomier, tighter and more convincing.� �

�While we don't know exactly how the work impacted the band's leader, we do know My Jerusalem has produced their best work to date. And for that, we're all better off.� � Examiner

My Jerusalem will hit the road this fall with Eliot Sumner during a handful of her Midwest dates. Immediately following, the Austin-based rock band will join The Psychedelic Furs as direct support for a string of shows. Full tour dates below.
"Now that everyone's had a moment to taste A
Little Death, I can't wait to bring it back to life in the clubs and theaters we're hitting this fall,� says Jeff Klein. �We've taken great care to make sure the live show presents the new songs with the intense, heady cocktail of romance and violence they deserve. I can't fucking wait to leave it on the stage every night."
My Jerusalem recently debuted �Rabbit Rabbit,� their first video from the band�s recent full-length release A
Little Death.
Though My Jerusalem has been kicking around in some capacity since 2010, A
Little Death is the first album with a solidified lineup. Previously, the band had been more of a collective, with contributions from Klein�s revolving door of friends from previous projects, Gutter
Twins and The Twilight Singers, and who had also played in bands like Cursive, Okkervil River and the Polyphonic Spree. Now, with a full-time lineup of members including Grant Van Amburgh (drums), Kyle Robarge (bass), and Jon Merz (guitar, keys, horns), �My Jerusalem is a true band,� Klein says. Alongside standout tracks like the high-energy �Rabbit Rabbit� and the slowed down banger �No One Gonna Give You Love,� A
Little Death is an album that pays homage to a classic era of rock and roll, one that lacked pretension and focused on honesty in songwriting.
