This 2019 release is a clear distillation of the Mini Simmons sound, with its blend of fuzzy guitars and anxious vocals. The album features a return to the more direct songwriting that characterized Simmons' earlier work.
- "A Way With Murder" was released on 7 April 2019 on the artist's own MINI SIMMONS label. The album was recorded at home over a period of six months. It was promoted by a small tour of independent venues in the American Pacific Northwest.
- The album was not a commercial success, charting at number 193 on the UK Album Downloads Chart. It received positive reviews from several underground music blogs. The lead single, "Killer," was noted for its driving rhythm section.
- The album cover features a stark black and white photograph of a broken mirror. The title track has been interpreted as a commentary on the difficulty of maintaining personal relationships. It is one of Simmons' most-streamed songs on platforms like Spotify.
Mini Simmons is the stage name of indie rock act Alex Simmons. Simmons is best known for the period in the late 2010s when they released a string of well-regarded if commercially ignored albums.
