Fontaines DC return with their third record in as many years: Skinty Fia. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language into English as “the damnation of the deer”; the spelling crassly anglicized, and its meaning diluted through generations. Part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph - the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatized culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.

We were extremely excited by the announcement of a new Fontaines D.C. album and can’t wait for new material from them this Friday! This important album addresses racism against Irish people that shockingly continues even today. Their lyrics also musically interpret Nabokov's writing.

FFO: The Murder Capital, Girl Band, Goat Girl, Shame.
