So far, Fontaines have previewed their lead single ‘Marianne‘ off ‘Dopamine Chamber’. In our five-star review of the track, we wrote: “This particular postcard, one of two newbies recently debuted live alongside the shadowy menace of ‘Six Shot Morning’, comes from a destination of tension piercing a surreal dream, a dark lullaby where the elegiac synth majesty of Depeche Mode meets a widescreen David Lynch scene of lush strings.
The sense of place is well-earned, and the longing is ultra real.
Meanwhile, we last spoke to frontman Grian Chatten about Fontaines’ record ‘Romance’ in 2024.
He spoke about how ‘Romance’ was a creative reset of sorts of the band, telling us: “I want to say this in a way that isn’t mean… To be creatively understood by too many people feels like flies settling all over your clothes and all other your face.
Every now and again you have to fucking shake them off, just to see who you are again. That’s what we wanted to do.
Elsewhere, Fontaines D. C. have announced intimate New York and Los Angeles shows ahead of ‘Dopamine Chamber’.
