The headline, sold-out gig follows the discharge of their third album ‘Without end Howlong’ earlier this yr. The report scored a four-star evaluation from NME, which learn: “There’s a contemporary heat to ‘Without end, Howlong’, however don’t mistake that for sonic pathetic fallacy.
“The pregnant protagonist of ‘Nancy Tries To Take The Night time’ has one of the crucial devastating narrative arcs on the report; the mix of banjo and nylon guitar makes for such an unusually wealthy tone for the band, bolstered by Hyde’s sonorous alto that grounds the music.”
Elsewhere, Fontaines D.C. known as an finish to their ‘Romance‘ period again in September, with an eerie stay video for ‘Need’.
In a four-star evaluation of Fontaines D.C.’s present at Finsbury Park over the summer time, NME hailed the set as a “surreal, highly effective assertion from future Glasto headliners”, and known as them “a very powerful band of this decade”.
“The acid, neon and sci-fi of 2024’s ‘Romance’ is a world of its personal,” it learn. “As Amy Taylor of assist act Amyl And The Sniffers places it, “Fontaines, particularly their final album, remind me of the way it feels to be alive at this time, which is admittedly fucking complicated”. She factors particularly to the profound ‘Trendy World’ as a soundtrack to those occasions of horror fatigue and livestreaming atrocities.
“That universe is mirrored in at this time’s line-up and their actions – soulful, fierce and unbiased acts. The combat for Palestine dominates the day, not least from Kneecap (who Fontaines frontman Grian Chatten joins for the reducing polemic ‘Higher Means To Dwell’) and it’s a trigger shared by the flag-baring, freedom-calling crowd.”
