Murder Capital are back with ‘Can’t Pretend To Know’, their first music release of 2024.

Can’t Pretend To Know’, with its sharp riff, sums up everything that makes The Murder Capital a unique and catchy band. The track was recorded in Los Angeles earlier this year with producer John Congelton (St Vincent, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten) in an intense, fast-paced session that prioritised urgency, energy and freshness. It is a track that signals a new era for The Murder Capital, with a new focus and clarity.

Frontman James McGovern speaking about the single said: “Can’t Pretend To Know is a track meant to sound like a hurricane of breathtaking colour. A surreal look at childhood innocence and all its substitutes, at those delicate bridges we burn as we move through the strange paths of our youth. Shaped by everything we come into contact with. We learn lessons from toys. Acting the parts we are asked to play.”
