Fontaines D.C. - A Hero's Death

€25,95
Format
As a whole it feels tense and loud and brash, but track to track there is a lot of intricacy in what they are doing, the builds are slow and careful, everything has a mood and the hazy spells never get broken.

A Hero's Death arrives battered and bruised, albeit beautiful - a heady and philosophical take on the modern World, and it's great uncertainty.

A Hero's Death is an intensely confident, patient, and complex follow up that follows their acclaimed debut album 'Dogrel' - released in April 2019, that earned  Dublin's Fontaines D.C. the Mercury Prize nomination and scored high on many End Of Year lists.  

'A Hero's Death' is the kind of second offering that makes you desperately hope & pray that this is just the beginning of a generation-defining catalogue. Although it's an intensely confident record, it is also much more subtle, patient & complex. It arrives battered, bruised & beautiful - a heady & philosophical take on the modern world, equally elating & heartbreaking - made all the more visecral & lucid once again by the hand of super producer Dan Carey.

The album artwork features the death of a hero, the statue of the mythic Celtic Irish hero Cú Chulainn, dead after tying himself to a tree to fight an entire rival army. The statue has long been on display in the General Post Office in Dublin, Fontaines D.C.'s hometown.
