Irish band The Murder Capital are back with their first new music since great sophomore album, “Gigi’s Recovery“. “Can’t Pretend to Know” was produced by John Congleton and is a real rager, but still with that melodic sense that bloomed on their most recent album. The Murder Capital share new single aside of touring with Nick Cave.
“‘Can’t Pretend To Know’ is a whip of a tune that we made to feel like a hurricane of colour and breathlessness,” says frontman James McGovern. “A surreal look at childhood innocence and all its replacers, those delicate bridges we burn as we move through the strangeways of our youth. Moulded by everything we come into contact with. Learning lessons from toys. Playing the parts that are asked of us.”
The Murder Capital’s first album “When I Have Fears” had all its songs written and recorded within the first 9 months of the band knowing each other.
The band will soon be on tour with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds across Europe, and they’ve just announced 2025 dates in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. They say North American dates will be announced soon.
