Gigi's Recovery (CD)
The Murder Capital
Amoeba Review
On their latest, Gigi's Recovery, Dublin’s The Murder Capital take their post-punk sound in an effortlessly cool, confident direction. These stripped-down tracks manage to blend the band’s air of menace with a sense of charm, a dark allure. The songs feel more straightforward than their first album, which allows the band’s melodic and lyrical skills to shine in the harsh light of day. There’s an urgency beneath the proceedings that grips listeners and doesn’t ease up, making Gigi’s Recovery an album that’ll linger in the mind and the heart well after the needle eases up on the record.
