Album of the Week – 16-08-19

How long have we been looking forward to this one? The Murder Capital’s debut album was released today and the hype has been building for months, but guess what? It lives up to it! It’s very rare for a new band to release a debut of this quality. Enjoy it!

Other releases from Sleater-Kinney (The Center Won’t Hold) and Jason Lytle (of Grandaddy – NYLONANDJUNO) are featured below –

Album of the Week – The Murder Capital – When I Have Fears

“Produced by Flood (PJ Harvey, New Order, Foals) the album features both singles from the band so far, “Feeling Fades” and “Green & Blue”, as well as the first studio recording of breakthrough track “More Is Less”.

An exercise in both darkness and light, “When I Have Fears” only serves to highlight the early ambition in the band’s sound. From the post-rock build and breakdowns of the two-part “Slowdance”, to the tender, bruised confessional of “On Twisted Ground” and industrial pulse of closer “Love, Love, Love”, there’s a consistent intensity throughout that marks out The Murder Capital as a band arriving fully formed on their debut album.”
