    With ‘Blindness’, The Murder Capital have crafted an album that feels both urgent and timeless. Simply put, it’s nothing short of a triumph.

    It’s a record that captures The Murder Capital at their most raw and uncompromising – alive in the turbulence, unafraid of what lies within and around them.

    ‘Blindness’ revolutionises The Murder Capital’s sound once more and this prioritisation of urgency and energy brings an infectious listen.

    Blindness doesn’t necessarily come together in the way a record ideally would, despite the fact that the songs are largely high-quality. Nonetheless, I’m quite intrigued by the record’s final stretch, which notably improves the overall feeling of this release.

    Some of its slower moments sap momentum rather than deepen the record’s emotional heft. But even when Blindness doesn’t fully deliver on its most striking ideas, The Murder Capital remain a band worth watching—restless, searching, and always ready to keep their “hand in the flame.

    Same edgy, post-punk, anything-could-happen-next discomfort about them [as 90s band Compulsion]. Which is nice. [May 2025, p.79]

    The inconsistent textures, pace and flow of the album all point to a band still trying to work out who they are. [Feb 2025, p.37]
