2022 was a breakout 12 months for Fontaines D.C. The Irish rock band’s third studio album, Skinty Fia, was one thing of a world 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 bought to know.
It’s a daring transfer. Romance appears to completely different sources of inspiration. You possibly can hear The Treatment within the report’s synth-laden sound, and the basic dystopian anime Akira echoes in a few of the lyrics. On this session, Fontaines D.C. be a part of us for a mini-concert recorded from the stage of World Cafe Stay in Philadelphia. Take pleasure in!
