The Murder Capital have announced their second album.
The follow-up to their 2019 debut 'When I Have Fears' is called 'Gigi's Recovery' and will arrive on January 20 via Human Season.
To accompany the news, the Dublin group have shared the second single from the John Congleton-produced record, A Thousand Lives, a dark, brooding post-punk track that comes paired with a video directed by Tommy Davies. It follows July's single Only Good Things. Frontman James McGovern commented:
"Knowing that the day is only X-hours long, alongside my understanding of how love can be the true restorative seed, means that if and when you are so lucky to find it (and it is true) the seemingly small glance that is our lifetime could never contain enough of those days or those hours. Even a thousand of those lifetimes would never be enough."
Both songs were performed during the band's show at London's Lafayette last night (September 22). The quintet have also announced UK and European tour dates for February, with tickets on general sale at 9am on September 28.
The band added: "For us, having worked on 'Gigi's Recovery' over the past two-plus years, now knowing every detail of every room in this house that we have built together, all we want to do is invite everybody in. We can’t wait to reveal more and more of what we’ve been creating with this record, and eventually in the new year, to reveal the full story.
"The greatest thing about making a record is touring a record. The connection we make and the energy created at our live shows is the highest point for us. We can’t wait to meet new faces in the crowds, and to see this record under the new light that each and every one of you will shine on it. No better place to be than in the centre of it all."
