OUT TODAY ON HUMAN SEASON RECORDS ORDER HERE
EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR ANNOUNCED FOR OCTOBER
Today, Dublin’s The Murder Capital have released their much-anticipated debut album ‘When I Have Fears’. Produced by Flood (PJ Harvey, New Order, Foals) the album features all four singles from the band so far, “Feeling Fades”, “Green & Blue”, “Don’t Cling To Life” and “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.
The album is available on limited edition gatefold marbled rust LP, black LP, as part of a limited bundle (limited edition gatefold marbled rust LP, t-shirt, pin & journal), CD and as a digital download.

The release also follows the recent live session for Steve Lamacq on 6 Music, where they have been B-listed for latest release “Don’t Cling To Life”, that you can listen to again HERE
The band have also recently released the first in a series of four live videos, starting with ‘Green & Blue’, which you can watch HERE
