FONTAINES D.C – Skinty Fia – LP – Std. Black Vinyl

LP Standard Black Vinyl

2020s A Heros 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 Londons 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.

Release date: April 22nd.
