listen to the single “Words Lost Meaning”

Three years after their second album “Gigi's Recovery”, The Murder Capital announce their return with the new full-length Blindness, out on February 21st via Human Seasons Records.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by the renowned John Congleton (Anna Calvi, St. Vincent, Angel Olsen).

Dublin post-punk band frontman James McGovern explains:
“He wanted us not to start making demos or layering tracks, but to record everything on the phone. That way, when we got to the studio, no song was stifled by what it needed to be, it was about what the song could become.”

Regarding the album's themes, he adds:
“There is what is in front of us, in our immediate field of vision. There are things we can touch, love we can feel. Then there's everything else. Blindness is distorted belief. The behind us. The secluded. Long distance love. Faith denied. Distorted patriotism. The faded face of moments in the rear view. Blindness brings everything into focus.”

The new single “Words Lost Meaning” anticipates the release of the album, which will also contain the song “Can't Pretend To Know”, already shared recently. Listen to it below:
