Fontaines D.C. Announce New Album Dopamine Chamber, Unveil "Marianne"
The lead single “Marianne” debuted live in Spain, and the band said the album moves toward darker, electronic-infused sounds.
Dublin-Formed band Fontaines announced their fifth studio album Dopamine Chamber, arriving Oct. 16 via Recordings. Recorded across London, the English countryside, and Palermo, the project embraces a darker, electronic-infused sound.
Produced by James Ford, the record follows previous releases Skinty Fia and Romance . The five-piece has earned significant acclaim since meeting at music college, now headlining arena-sized shows.
Lead single Marianne debuted live Aug. 8 at Baluarte de la Candelaria in Cadiz, Spain. The band said the track was inspired by Netflix thriller series Ripley , starring Adam Scott.
Multiple Grammy Award nominations highlight their career, including a best rock album nod for Hero's Death . The band will headline Reading and Leeds Festival on Aug. 30 alongside major acts.
Guitarist Conor Curley described the sonic shift as finding sounds pointing toward the future. This evolution follows their first Billboard 200 entry and a BRIT award for international group.
After eclipsing everything during the 34th edition of the St.Malo Rock Route, the announcement (and listening) of their new album, "Dopamine Chamber" in October confirms that it will now be necessary to get used to listening to the Irish in arenas and stadiums.
