The Murder Capital have revealed their new single, Ethel, the third track from
their forthcoming album Gigi's Recovery. More reminiscent of the style of
their debut When I Have Fears than the previous two singles, the powerful
track still marks out the new record as a new beginning for a band that has
eschewed the album treadmill cycle of many of their contemporaries and taken
the time to make a record that reflects their headspace and evolution as a
band.
Described at recent acoustic shows as "my favourite from the new record" by
front man James McGovern and already a set-closer at their festival
performances, Ethel is a song that poses questions about when you reach a crossroads in life and asks what do you want - the party life, the drugs and whether that makes you truly happy or something more restrained and settled like starting a family. The statement "I always wanted it to be like this for us" shifts from "strung out on love, alive in the city" to "having our first kid, name her Ethel." It's couched in the section where the questioning changes with the foreboding "you better get it right, one chance at this life" and the mood of the song shifts too.
