New striking strokes

27 April 2023

Charismatic frontman GRIAN CHATTEN of Dublin heroes Fontaines D.C.
has released his debut solo single, titled THE SCORE.

Chatten: “‘The Score’ is a heavyweight bated breath of lust. I wrote it in Madrid between an electric fan and a dying plant and I intend to keep it there. It was inspired by sugar and sunset.”

The song is a moody affair as I expected. We already got some soft Chatten moments on the last two Fontaines D.C. albums where he went tender and romantic. If he wants to rock out he always can do it with his fellow Irishmen.

“You know the score/ It ain’t limited to your knowing looks and touches anymore /
Cuz when you make his love you turn alone/ You see your heart’s been tethered to
a sinking stone.”
