Capra made a name for themselves with the adrenaline jolt that is In Transmission, and now return with their riveting sop****re effort Errors. Maintaining all the elements that made their 2021 debut so compelling--raucous energy, frantic riffs, the from-the-gut lyrics and soul-searing delivery of vocalist Crow Lotus-they've stepped things up, with stronger songwriting and a determination reach the next level. "We wanted to create something authentic, something real and honest. Nothing more and nothing less," says Lotus. Adds guitarist Tyler Harper, "I knew that I wanted it to pick up where the first album left off, but that it needed to have an entirely new attitude. If you listen to the last song from In Transmission into the first song on Errors, it's a continuation. From there the album steers off into a direction that still feels similar, but is new."

Tracking in Estuary Recording Studios in Austin, Texas, with Andrew Hernandez, the record was mixed by Taylor Young and mastered by Brad Boatright, the latter two having worked on In Transmission. For collaborations, Capra recruited Walls Of Jericho vocalist Candace Kucsulain-Puopolo to add her inimitable tones to "Human Commodity," while their friend Dustin Coffman from Glassing added backing vocals to a handful of tracks. Producer Hernandez also added some piano to "Nora," which closes out the album in a very different manner than anything they've previously explored. In a complete juxtaposition to the tracks that precede it, "Nora" is atmospheric and lithe, delicate and haunting. "I've always wanted to show a prettier/lighter side to this band where it's not always aggressive," says Harper. "Life is a rollercoaster and sometimes you need to throw some pretty piano into it." Since Capra's inception, Harper has always envisaged each album being a continuation of the last, and then breaking it off into its own journey, seeing "Nora" as "a fun way to start album three!"

Lyrics:
I was lured into a comfortable space
Promised warmth and freedom from suffering and scraping from day to day
The promise became a tangle of thorn covered vines
Tendrils of perversion choking my lust for life

Packed into a box
Signed off and shipped in palatable packaging
Struggling to accept the vessel I chose to become
And hoping there’s something left when it’s all been done

How much do I adjust
Until the hinges shake off their rust
And the world bends to trust
When will I be enough

No! I will not be restructured into perfect lines
I would let it burn down before becoming a sacrifice

I’m tired of not good enough or out of line
Forgive myself to let myself be right this time
Flawlessly screwing up like a jerk
But doing so authentically like I deserve
