New striking strokes

12 January 2022

Band: FONTAINES D.C.
Who: Irish post-punk squad
Albums: Drogel (2019) and A Hero’s Death (2020)

New album: SKINTY FIA – 3rd LP
Release: 22 April via Partisan Records

Skinty Fia is Irish for ‘the damnation of the deer.’ Both the title
and cover art refer to the extinction of the Irish giant deer. The
symbol for a longplayer that meditates on the band’s Irish identity.
It’s the first LP made after all group members moved out of Ireland,
looking back from the outside.

Lead single: JACKIE DOWN THE LINE

A bit Fontaines by (great) numbers although with a more mellow
sound than before. I”m really curious to see what comes next…
