The Murder Capital popped in to IMRO HQ today for the presentation of an IMRO Award in recognition of their album Gigi’s Recovery.
The IMRO Number 1 Award was introduced to acknowledge IMRO members who reach number 1 in the album charts here in Ireland.
The Murder Capital‘s much-anticipated second album Gigi’s Recovery was released at the start of 2023 to critical acclaim.
While the material on first record, When I Have Fears captured the vital beginnings of the group, the 12 songs of Gigi’s Recovery push the band into ever braver sonic territories, oceans apart from previous peers. Ambition is put right at the front and center, with the inventive, expansive guitar work of Cathal Roper and Damien Tuit paired to a precise and intelligent rhythmic unit in bassist Gabriel Paschal Blake and drummer Diarmuid Brennan. Electronic elements are noticeably more prominent across the record, with industrial influences explored in greater detail than ever before. Vocalist James McGovern‘s bold melodies acting as a reassuring anchor so we never get totally swept away into the band’s new found soundscape.
The Murder Capital’s second studio album Gigi’s Recovery is out now on Human Season Records.
