Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia

$37.00
Bittersweet, provoking and absolutely massive third LP from the Dublin post-punks.
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable

2020’s A Hero’s Death saw Fontaines D.C. land a #2 album in the UK, receive nominations at the GRAMMYs, BRITs and Ivor Novello Awards, and sell out London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. 

Now the band 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.

Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia

$37.00
                           
"If their debut album Dogrel was a love letter written in and to Dublin, and follow-up A Hero’s Death a dissociated masterpiece, written on the road as the band navigated being away from their home turf, then Skinty Fia is a self-assured amalgamation of the two. Channelling their achievements so far and combining them with a desire for expansion, Skinty Fia also doesn’t forget where it came from."
