Murder in the Modern Day

Murder in the Modern Day is the second EP album by West Auckland indie rock band Title Pending. Released on New Year's Eve 2015, exactly one year after their 2014 album, In-Sync Hallucinations.

Background & recording
In December of 2014, Cameron Mason McCurdy and Ruben Mita recorded an album worth of material from 2012 while Josh Rundle was on holiday in Sri Lanka. The album, In-Sync Hallucinations was released on the 31st of December 2014, and is no longer available. The band released several singles in 2015 such as "February", "Blink", "Yesterday's Bread", "15"undefined and "Faith Coat" while playing regular gigs as part of the Auckland all-ages scene. On the 31st of December, the band released their second album, Murder in the Modern Day, which is also no longer available. The album was recorded by Ruben Mita at 232 and 676 and is the first Title Pending album to feature Rundle on bass guitar. The album artwork is a photo by Mason McCurdy of an abandoned toilet block in Myers Park, Auckland Central, where "Home Sweet Home" is scratched into the walls behind bars.
