Fontaines D.C. by Filmawi
Fontaines D.C. released their new album ‘Skinty Fia’ last month.
Fontaines D.C. stopped off at the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago during their recent North American tour to record an episode of NPR‘s Tiny Desk concert series.
The Couple Across The Way, ‘In ár gCroíthe go deo’, Big Shot and Nabokov were performed from an album which Live4ever handed a glowing 9/10 score:
“Places and people are constant lyrical themes: opener In ár gCroíthe go deo, or In Our Hearts Forever, with its cloistered harmonies and slow building reveal, tells the story of a woman’s battle with the Church Of England to have her headstone inscription in Irish,” our review reads.
“The reverb-doused Roman Holiday is about Chatten’s experiences in the capital and Britishness seen as a casual adversary – ‘I don’t wanna see the Queen’, he croons, ‘I already sing her song’, a reference to the concession of speaking somebody else’s tongue.”
