2022 was a breakout yr for Fontaines D.C. The Irish rock band’s third studio album, Skinty Fia, was one thing of a global coming-out social gathering: The report went No. 1 on the U.Okay. charts, and the band launched into a string of sold-out U.S. dates.
So how does a band on the rise capitalize on their success? Make a report that doesn’t sound something just like the Fontaines D.C. we solely simply acquired to know.
It’s a daring transfer. Romance seems to be to completely different sources of inspiration. You possibly can hear The Remedy within the report’s synth-laden sound, and the traditional dystopian anime Akira echoes in a number of the lyrics. On this session, Fontaines D.C. be part of us for a mini-concert recorded from the stage of World Cafe Dwell in Philadelphia. Get pleasure from!
