Blindness

The Murder Capital presents Blindness, their vividly realised and clear-sightedly ambitious new album. The sound of the band firing on all cylinders bristles with energy yet remains intimate and simultaneously expansive.

Eleven songs make up the album, each one grabbing the listener's attention from the start. There's a wider, richer perspective animating The Murder Capital's new set of songs, brought on by the diverse insights of the five members. Each member brought differing worldviews arising from their literal new positions in the world.

Drummer Diarmuid Brennan was living in Berlin, bass player Gabriel "g" Paschal Blake was in Letterkenny, guitarist Cathal "pump" Roper was in Donegal, and guitarist Damien "irv" Tuit and Mcgovern were in London. Blindness prioritizes urgency, energy, and freshness – all baked into the songs from their earliest incarnations.

The album was recorded in LA with the help of Grammy-winning producer John Congleton.
