7.6 / 10

Filtered through warped hip-hop beats and garbled samples, Damon McMahon’s self-produced sixth album is a characteristically oblique apocalypse tale about living for today.

9 / 10

With heretofore-seldom explored influences from hip-hop production and club music, Death Jokes is a complex chasm of fractured, intertwining ideas, songs that grasp for purpose, and songs with drops of sorts.

Death Jokes is the product of a very busy mind, expertly encapsulating the feeling of being trapped, distracted, and despondent.
