The Irish quintet Fontaines D.C. are back with a brand new single, taken from their new album Skinty Fia coming out on April 22nd. Superb sonics abound on the track, with the acoustic guitar/drums interplay giving the song a glorious clatter and jangle as a mantra of melodies and exposition cascade above.
Word is that the album is part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph – the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatised culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.
