Posted May 5, 20205 yr Fontaines D.C. confirmed a while ago that they had finished recording their second album, the follow up to last year's critically acclaimed debut 'Dogrel' - and it seems we'll be getting the first track of it not too far away! @1256176738851328000 They've been saying that the new album has been inspired by The Beach Boys, so I can't wait to hear where those influences come in.
May 5, 20205 yr Author The album is titled 'A Hero's Death' and is out on July 31st, the title track is out now and it's everything I wanted! The harmonies are lush. jLNt8aMNbvY Tracklisting: 1. I Don't Belong 2. Love Is The Main Thing 3. Televised Mind 4. A Lucid Dream 5. You Said 6. Oh Such a Spring 7. A Hero's Death 8. Living in America 9. I Was Not Born 10. Sunny 11. No
May 5, 20205 yr I imagine this will be big commercially. Radio 1 late to the game with their debut singles only removing 'Liberty Bell' the other week so I imagine this will get a lot of rotation on daytime playlists.

June 10, 20205 yr Author Randomly, 'I Don't Belong' released yesterday, but they've said nothing about it on social media at all! It's another good one though. J_3m6Q5Iz4M
June 10, 20205 yr Whilst I really like A Hero's Death I'm not sure it's as good as almost all of Dogrel, which is pretty much perfect. Interested to hear the new one.
June 13, 20205 yr I enjoyed their socially distanced performance of the albums title track last night on Jools Holland. : )
June 15, 20205 yr I enjoyed their socially distanced performance of the albums title track last night on Jools Holland. : ) I've just got round to seeing it and very good it was too. I've loved most of what I've heard from the so far (which is quite a lot). A Hero's Death is very reminiscent of 90s Irish band A House.
June 15, 20205 yr 'I Don't Belong' is the first song from them that's really grabbed my attention, lovely stuff.
June 26, 20205 yr Author Big 2021 UK tour announced including a date at Ally Pally, the next step up from that is Wembley Arena! @1276424971980505088
June 26, 20205 yr I've seen them twice and they're great so will definitely hope to get a ticket for this. Leicester on a Monday I guess it has to be.
June 30, 20205 yr Author This album is going to be really special I think, an early review from Q gives it 5 stars! lE7vLPSfw6Q
July 28, 20204 yr Didn't immediately click with 'Televised Mind' on first listen the other week but I have revisited it and glad that I have as it's grown on me a lot, I think I'm actually liking it even more than 'I Don't Belong' now. I don't know if this is even the vibe they're going for but I find these two songs kind of weirdly relaxing in their simplicity? I relistened to 'A Hero's Death' as well and I'm still not as into that one and I think it might be because there's a little too much going on in it - it's like Fontaines D.C. are at their best for me when they put the least amount of effort into their songs :lol: maybe I am way off but regardless they have successfully scratched an itch that I'm not getting from any other guitar music recently that I can think of.
