Deezer listen:
debuts at #1 on the UK albums chart this week...
from Dublin...
third album (a first for me though)...
title is a Gaelic saying meaning "damnation of the deer"...
songs are very moody, think "twin peaks theme" crossed with Joy Division and add a splash of Smiths and/or Psychedelic Furs...
interesting album.
what Irish album would be complete without an accordion based folk tune... Fontaines D.C. - The Couple Across The Way (Official Lyric Video) - YouTube
my favorite: Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia (Official Video) - YouTube
the lead off single performed on Fallon:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
