The Murder Capital continue to unveil their second album, ‘Gigi’s Recovery’, with their new single, ‘Ethel’.

It is the Irish post-punk quintet’s third track of 2022 following two previous singles, ‘Only Good Things’ and ‘A Thousand Lives’, which will both also feature on the record. The full 12-track project is slated to arrive on January 20th via Human Season Records.

Their debut album, ‘When I Have Fears’, was shared in 2019, with Dork’s 4-star review describing it as, “a variation on the post-punk theme that even if not entirely new, maintains a certain tenderness amid the noise”.

“The song ‘Ethel’ is a picture of a crossroads, really, asking you what you want from life,” the band have shared on their latest offering. “Whether you want to continue down a path of chaos, or make a change in your course. It’s showing you what is possible when you make the decisions that bring a sort of cradled warmth into your future. The idea of ‘Ethel’ is that you can have what you truly desire if you put to rest those short-lived fixes that never bring you any real happiness.”

The Murder Capital’s new track has arrived with a music video accompaniment, directed by Maxim Kelly who shares: “Initially I thought Ethel should be the main character and do the dance at the end, and I always had this image from this French film called My American Uncle. Where it’s like a little girl standing up at a table. I originally had that image in my head for a rap video, but it didn’t really make sense to the song, I wanted this to feel more surreal so then as I started finding more imagery, it kind of transpired that maybe the maid was the more interesting character.”
