The Murder Capital have announced their new album Blindness will be released on February 21, 2025. With the news, the Irish band, have shared new single “Words Lost Meaning”. Blindness, follows their previous LP Gigi’s Recovery . Having just come off tour with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds across Europe, The Murder Capital have previously announced UK and Aus/NZ shows with more to come.

“There’s what’s in front of us, in our immediate field of vision. There are the things we can touch, the love we can feel. Then there’s everything else. Blindness is the warped belief. The behind us. The secluded. Love at a distance. Faith in denial. Distorted patriotism. The fading face of moments in the rear view. Blindness brings it all into focus.” – The Murder Capital’s frontman, James McGovern

Blindness finds the band firing on all cylinders coming out of previous years of heavy touring after recording the album in LA with g producer John Congleton (Sleater-Kinney, Mannequin Pussy, Angel Olsen) who the band previously worked with on Gigi’s Recovery. The tracks came together quickly, in intense and fast paced sessions that prioritized urgency, energy and freshness. “He wanted us not to start demo-ing or layering any tracks, just phone-record everything. That way, by the time we got to the studio, no song was suffocated by what it needed to be, it was about what the song could become.” says McGovern.

“”Words Lost Meaning” is where love goes to die,” says McGovern. “When the words ‘I love you’ are used without thought, without feeling, even as a way to close a conversation, they become stale and diffused. No words mean more than those three combined.”
