Adam Paxton explores a rush of an album by The Murder Capital.
The Human Season
Released 21.2.25
It’s rare I wish for triple my word count to praise a record, but Blindness deserves it. The Murder Capital’s new album begins with an amphetamine rush instrumentally and vocally, while never forgetting the band’s trademark nuanced lyricism.Words Lost Meaning is a highlight; an incredible chorus conjuring a unique feeling of jaded tenderness. It’d be the standout track if Born Into The Fight didn’t exist. Like an echo of Radiohead that gradually disintegrates, born into struggle and a punk ethos; born into the fight. By the chorus it has set itself apart from such comparisons by searing itself into the soul of anyone born into the fight themselves. This album demands attention.
