Skinty Fia

Fontaines D.C.  are an Irish post-punk  band formed in Dublin  in 2017.[1][2][3]  The band consists of Grian Chatten (vocals), Carlos O'Connell (guitar), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan III (bass), and Tom Coll (drums).

Skinty Fia  is the third studio album by Irish rock band Fontaines D.C.  It was released on 22 April 2022 via Partisan Records . Like the band's two previous albums – 2019's Dogrel  and 2020's A Hero's Death  – Skinty Fia  was produced by Dan Carey .[12]  Its title refers to an old Irish saying that drummer Tom Coll’s great-aunt used to say. The phrase "Skinty Fia" translates to "the damnation of the deer". Both the title and the cover art allude to the extinct Irish elk , also known as the "giant deer".[13][14]

Fontaines D.C.: Skinty Fia

The Irish post-punk band's most demanding and musically adventurous album is also its most open-hearted, striking a perfect balance between tough and tender. The year 2019 already feels like the distant past for most of us, but for Fontaines D.C., it really must seem like another lifetime-and that has less to do with the pandemic than their own skyrocketing success in spite of it.
