No Ripcord
In distancing themselves from strictly writing within a post-punk framework, the band takes new and exciting rhythmic detours to accompany their slightly more optimistic, inward-looking reflections

Gigwise
An immersive and cathartic album, euphoric and desolate in equal measure and a perfect soundtrack to the hope and sadness keenly felt at this time of year. Superb

Loud And Quiet
There are nods to Tears from Fears, winks to The Strokes, nudges to Pixies, and waves to Interpol, but above all, there is the discovery of an ideal sound, one that works magically between the four group members and gives back that magic to the listener’s ear

The Irish Times
The Murder Capital are clearly a very good band, who have made a very good second album – they’re just not an entirely original one

With any luck, this album will be enough to get The Murder Capital out of their more famous compatriots’ shadow and earn themselves a deserved place in the limelight of a resurgent post-punk scene
