The album was recorded at Thule Studios in Reykjavík and mastered at Sterling Sound in New York City by Chris Gehringer. The engineer was Aron Arnarsson, assisted by Palli and Steini. The album was produced by Henrik Bjornsson and co-produced by Arnarsson.

Apart from the band, additional performers included organ player Jóhann Jóhannsson from the art rock band Apparat Organ Quartet and the female singers Elsa Maria and Anna Margret.

Reception

| rev2score = generally unfavourable^[2]
}}AllMusic's review was generally unfavourable, stating, "Though these tracks plum the depths of their style's bruised and broken magnet trajectory, a lot of Life Is Killing My Rock 'n' Roll seems like a sleepwalk. A sleepwalk in a cool leather vest and shades, to be sure. But it's still a sleepwalk."^[1] PopMatters wrote, "This album seems to take a step back [from The Curse Of], though, and it isn't as powerful as the first go-around."^[2]Life Is Killing My Rock 'n' Roll was chosen by a guest reviewer for Drowned in Sound as "their favourite – or most interesting, most controversial, most fun, most whatever – record of the past decade" in an article on Nordic music.^[3]
