Charged with momentum, Blindness is an 11-track offering of intimate yet expansive songs. After a massive season of touring, the band found themselves exhausted but eager to get into the studio and create something prioritising urgency, energy and freshness.
Overcoming creative differences in pre-production, the conflict served as a positive blood-letting, allowing the band move forward as a unified front reaching for the same desire. The album was brought to life over three pacy weeks in LA alongside GRAMMY Award winning producer John Congleton who previously worked with the band on their critically acclaimed release Gigi’s Recovery.
Featuring recently released tracks “Can’t Pretend To Know”, “Words Lost Meaning”, “The Fall” and “A Distant Life”, Blindness introduces us to seven brand new tracks.
Lead vocalist James McGovern dives into the deeper meaning of the album saying, “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.”
“When we sat down to figure out what the album was about, we ended up with three broadly sweeping themes: faith and patriotism through the lens of Irishness, love songs and dissecting relationships, and more introspective looks at things like addiction and mental illness.”
Recently wrapping their tour with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds across Europe, The Murder Capital will be heading to Australia and New Zealand next March before embarking on a headline tour of the UK and EU.

The Murder Capital was formed in Dublin where all five members met while studying at music college. Consisting of James McGovern on vocals, Damien Tuit and Cathal Roper on guitar, Gabriel Paschal Blake on bass and Diarmuid Brennan on drums, the band began releasing music in 2018. With their debut single “More Or Less” blowing up online, the group quickly began to work on their 2019 debut album When I Have Fears, now boasting over 15 million Spotify streams. Their 2023 album Gigi’s Recovery received widespread acclaim, reaching Number 1 in Ireland and breaking the Top 20 in the UK album charts.
Gigi’s Recovery was followed by a massive festival season including defining sets at Coachella, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and Rock En Seine. The bank embarked on tour across the US, the UK and Europe, selling out Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre. The Murder Capital has supported the likes of US rock idols Pearl Jam and are about to embark on a tour with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. The Murder Capital has well and truly broken through to the mainstream with their dark and introspective brand of post-punk.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
