The Murder Capital releases new single 'A Distant Life' ahead of album 'Blindness'

The Murder Capital has released a new single titled 'A Distant Life' as a final teaser ahead of their third album 'Blindness', set to be released on February 21. The track showcases a more carefree and melodic approach, drawing inspiration from literature, particularly Margaret Atwood's poem 'All Bread', as explained by frontman James McGovern. McGovern mentioned that the lyrics were written during a tour stop in the UK and that he aimed for the music to feel naive and unaffected, mirroring true love. This release follows other singles from the upcoming album, such as 'Words Lost Meaning' and 'Love Of Country', which have garnered attention and praise. 'Blindness' promises to be both intimate and expansive, with 11 songs designed to engage listeners quickly. The band continues to receive strong support from BBC 6 Music, reinforcing their growing presence in the music scene.
