The Murder Capital live at Neighbourhood Festival 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
The Murder Capital are among the 150 artists newly confirmed for The Great Escape.
The Murder Capital, Mae Stephens, SORRY, PVA, Deb Never and Dylan John Thomas have been added to the line-up for The Great Escape 2023 in Brighton.
It adds to The Murder Capital’s touring behind their recently released second album Gigi’s Recovery which is due in the US later this month.
“In the odd moments when they do linger though Gigi’s Recovery shows another side of itself: Only Good Things is McGovern’s first love song – or at least the first song about love – and as close to happy as they’ve ever been, a melody good enough to side with anything in fellow countrymen Microdisney’s exceptional back catalogue,” our review reads.
The centerpiece however is Ethel, its body made from two different song halves somehow welded to each other. Here as jarring, discordant noise provides the undertow to nocturnal city trips and mental falls, through what feels like a side door to hope a blurred future and the present then collide, before the dream finishes in a rural, parental bliss.
