March 20, 20223 yr Yeah it's Hottest Record tomorrow, probably should've said that when I mentioned it earlier in the week haha
March 24, 20223 yr Author And here it is! A different sort of vibe for them, and they pull it off very well! Hyped for the album E4qy_XEjjYc
April 24, 20223 yr curious to see how much it sells in week 1 good review on pitchfork (an 8): https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/fontai...-dc-skinty-fia/
May 8, 20223 yr Great that this made #1! Another new one is out today titled 'I Love You' - really like it on first listen! 'Jackie Down The Line' has also continued to be constantly listened by me too. Ty9Pcg3qrmU I love the jangly, brooding Cure sounding guitars in at the start of this. <3 the gall of Fine Gael and the fail of Fianna Fáil is a great political line for the leftists. *.*
May 21, 20223 yr This is so close to being a contender for album of the year for me - unfortunately 'The Couple Across The Way' is a bit of a snoozer which single handedly takes it out of that conversation and I'm also kind of middling on 'Bloomsday'. The other 8 tracks are all great, 'In Ár gCroíthe Go Deo' and 'Nabokov' both work fantastically as openers and closers respectively, while 'Jackie Down The Line' and 'I Love You' have only got better with more listens and in the context of the album, think those are probably now my 2 favourite songs to date from them (hard to pick which of the two I like better). Definitely liking this even more than 'A Hero's Death' anyway.
May 21, 20223 yr Author I agree, ‘ In Ár gCroíthe Go Deo’ is absolutely amazing. Definitely one of my songs of the year.
March 2, 20232 yr Author They’ve covered Nick Drake’s “‘Cello Song’ for an upcoming covers compilation: ezDU--NeT4c
September 9, 20231 yr Author Exciting news... they've announced a new version of the album! It's titled 'Skinty Fia Go Deo' (meaning 'Skinty Fia Forever') and "brings together live sessions, covers and reworks from the Skinty Fia era". It's just a digital release and there's no release date yet - hopefully it's soon!
September 13, 20231 yr Author It's out today! It contains the original album, and then: 11. Big Shot - Live At Glastonbury 12. Jackie Down The Line - Skinty Fia Sessions 13. Roman Holiday - Skinty Fia Sessions 14. I Love You - Skinty Fia Sessions 15. One - Skinty Fia Sessions (U2 cover) 16. Twinkle - Skinty Fia Sessions (Whipping Boy cover) 17. The Couple Across The Way - Skinty Fia Sessions 18. In ár gCroíthe go deo - Orbital Remix The 'Skinty Fia Sessions' versions of the 'Skinty Fia' songs are all reworked a little, not just straight-up live performances of the tracks, and are all worth listening to! The Orbital remix goes hard too.
