"They Put a Body in the Bayou" turned up on Terrible Human Beings, the Orwells' third album, which Atlantic released on February 17, 2017, and the title reads like a pulp-paper headline. The writing credit is split five ways, between Mario Cuomo, Dominic Corso, Matt O'Keefe, Grant Brinner and Henry Brinner. Cuomo sings lead, Corso and O'Keefe play guitar, Grant Brinner plays bass and Henry Brinner drums. Jim Abbiss produced it, with Ian Dowling and Nyles Spencer engineering.
The album turned out to be something of a last word. It was the final record the band released before they broke up in 2018, although a self-released album called The Orwells surfaced the following year.
