The performances follow their largely sold-out EU \/ UK tours in 2020, which saw them sell out their biggest headline show to date at London\u2019s Electric Ballroom.

It\u2019s so bright. It\u2019s so colourful. This is a part of the narrative of the overall record that we feel reaches a real place of inner calm, inner peace but at its core, it\u2019s a love song. You get a song like this where, the protagonist in this song is quite simply asking &#8211; not pleading &#8211; just willing to ask their counterpart to rid them of their intrusive thoughts, the devils on their shoulders and to be truly vulnerable. We\u2019re so excited to go to a place like this because perhaps it\u2019s not what is expected of us. It stood out to me during the creation of this record that it is more about the friends that are still here and celebrating those connections, those relationships and being unafraid of life and it\u2019s many seasons. Where \u2018Only Good Things\u2019 stands within the record is at a moment where the sonic and the lyrical narrative especially, are of newfound joy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live dates<\/strong><br>22\u00a0July \u2013 Truck Festival \u2013 Oxford, UK<br>31\u00a0July \u2013 All Together Now \u2013 Co Waterford, IRE<br>17\u00a0August \u2013 Paredes De Coura Festival \u2013 Paredes De Coura, PT<br>19\u00a0August \u2013 Lowlands Festival \u2013 Biddinghuizen, DE<br>20 August \u2013 Pukkelpop \u2013 Hasselt, BE<br>21\u00a0August \u2013 Green Man Festival \u2013 Breacon Beacons, UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets \/ More info\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.proofpoint.com\/v2\/url?u=https-3A__prescriptionpr.cmail19.com_t_j-2Dl-2Dvjrlrdl-2Dejlihlkhu-2Dk_&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&amp;r=5CE4o-Vd_RlrEfgWHzSiLOD6STn683uk8seONybkJZ0&amp;m=gmIt8R7QkAPr3Cb_Oksr1p3FAqArQinEc1862gR-Ku4&amp;s=FSAWwf15WN-kRGzfPfL90I3VmxZc9xyzzzoKe-sll04&amp;e=\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Murder Capital have shared their new song Only Good Things, a bright and luminous love song and first taste of the band\u2019s forthcoming new <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=38190\" title=\"The Murder Capital return with new single &#8216;Only Good Things&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[22,23,25,28,30,1907],"tags":[10810,7884,1245],"class_list":["post-38190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-only-good-things","tag-the-murder-capital","tag-tour-dates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3Z8A2225-2-9900000000079e3c.jpg?fit=900%2C600&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-9VY","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":38445,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=38445","url_meta":{"origin":38190,"position":0},"title":"The Murder Capital share new video for \u2018Only Good Things\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"September 15, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Following The Murder Capital's much-anticipated return at the end of July with their first new material since 2019, Only Good Things, they have shared a dream-like video for the single directed by Hugh Mulhern (For Those I Love, Fontaines D.C.).
