Catalog Number: 5021732375896 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 5021732375896 Blindness is the vividly realised, clear-sightedly ambitious new album from Irish band The Murder Capital. The sound of a band firing on all cylinders that bristles with energy yet intimate and simultaneously expansive. Eleven songs that don't hang about in terms of grabbing the listener. There's a wider, richer perspective animating the Murder Capital's new set of songs, brought on from the diverse insights the five members were bringing to the creative process, 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. The album prioritizes urgency, energy, freshness - all baked into the songs from their earliest incarnations, recorded in la with the help of grammy-winning producer John Congleton.
