“Album Review: Fontaines D.C.”
“It’s a harrowing way to close out an album that hits just right for our nightmare times.”
“You’d have to be a real spoil sport not to fall for a band whose frontman, Grian Chatten, told Rolling Stone U.K .”

“Their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber , has a similar world-building spirit.”
“Each subsequent Fontaines record has been different and more ambitious, and they really hit a peak with their 2024 LP, Romance , expanding their sound into heavy Nineties alt-rock and industrial, Britpop, and a dream-rock canon from Cocteau Twins to Deftones to Lana Del Rey, while delivering sweeping, hard-hitting reflections on how to stay sane and maybe even hopeful in these increasingly dark times.”

“On the spacious, slamming single “Marianne,” the snare drum hits like a falling anvil, a string section broods, and synths throb like a hangover as Chatten whispers, “You can follow my lead/I can help you disappear,” an escapist invitation that feels more like a threat than a promise.”
“The lyrics offer images of the uber rich pioneering their own eugenic happy place (“Beauty kings/Beauty queens/Razor-faced/With private means”) as the rest of us poor suckers are left to rot amid “the ruins of the human dream.” But Fontaines aren’t going out like that, at least not yet.”

“But these guys had their own uniquely Irish sense of lyricism, absurdist humor, and underdog spirit.”
“The band is reaching further beyond its guitar-rock foundations, pushing deeper into electronic moodiness and orchestral sweep in songs that feel more designed than banged out.”
“The album’s headline artistic coup is “Where Is Gone?,” a duet in which Chatten is joined by Rosalía for a velvet-sunset ballad that goes down like a 2020s spin on the languorous Sixties epics of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra.”
““Tongue” sets teeming, agitated synth chirps atop slow, funky bad-dream drum thwack that sounds like it was recorded in a meat locker, before a head-bobbing piano figure rolls through that sounds like it was borrowed from a gritty 1990s New York hip-hop record.”
“The record opens with the ominous low-end churn of “Six Shot Morning.” Chatten sings in a dank baritone about Silicon Valley siphoning our very beings, before offering a line that turns the transhumanist ideology of tech oligarchs like Peter Thiel into ironic pop-ballad poetry: “You and I living for a million years/Always, always.” What follows is a rock album with the heart of a dystopian sci-fi epic.”
