New striking strokes
20 November 2024
Last year Irish misfits THE MURDER CAPITAL released their
top-notch 2nd LP Gigi’s Recovery. A remarkable record.
Nick Cave is a fan, obviously, as the Irishmen were the support act on
several European concerts by the crooner legend and his Bad Seeds.
Ahead of that tour, they shared an intense
new song named Can’t Pretend To Know.
And they just dropped another one, titled WORDS LOST MEANING.
Both tracks will be on their 3rd longplayer, named Blindness. It’ll be
out next year, on February 21. More info here.
James McGovern (frontman/songwriter) about the new track : “I’ve had experiences
in my own relationship, being on tour a lot, where the words ‘I love you’ would be used
over text, or as a way to close a conversation.
“They were dismantling and losing their essence… if the words ‘I love you’ are losing meaning in a romantic context or a partnership, it’s a worrying sign. Those words mean so much, and they should be respected as such. I’d rather say goodbye and say nothing if it’s not going to be said with meaning.”
