The Murder Capital are back with a new single, Can’t Pretend To Know.

Recorded in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton, the swirling post-punk track follows their September 2023 single, Heart In The Hole, which, in turn, marked their first new music since their sophomore album, 'Gigi's Recovery', released in January of that year. Frontman James McGovern said:

"Can't Pretend To Know is a whip of a tune that we made to feel like a hurricane of colour and breathlessness. A surreal look at childhood innocence and all its replacers, those delicate bridges we burn as we move through the strangeways of our youth. Moulded by everything we come into contact with. Learning lessons from toys. Playing the parts that are asked of us."

The Murder Capital will support Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds in Europe this autumn, before new headlining shows in Australia and New Zealand next March and April, followed by UK dates later in the spring.

Tickets for their dates down under go on general sale at 9am AEST on Wednesday (September 25), with the UK shows on general sale at 10am local time on Thursday (September 26).
