Over dit evenement

Oorspronkelijke beschrijving

A handling fee of 30 CZK applies. Fontaines D.C. have spent five albums refusing to repeat themselves -- from Dogrel (2019) through A Hero's Death (2020), the No. 1 Skinty Fia (2022) and the anarchic, kaleidoscopic Romance (2024). Dopamine Chamber is their most radical turn yet: cold synthesiser tones, marching drums, samples and triggers, several songs with no guitars at all, and the swooning strings of 1960s Italian pop pulled into something synthetic. For guitarist Conor Curley, the aim was to break from the band's own reference points: "I was trying to find stuff that pointed into the future." It was made with producer James Ford between London, the English countryside and Palermo, where Chatten recorded vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions. Dopamine Chamber arrives like a constellation behind undulating sighs of smog: potent balladry, anthemic melodies glinting through the murk.
