Fontaines D.C. - A Hero's Death (2020)
This second record from Dublin’s Fontaines (Dublin City) has that early 80’s urgency that bands like Echo and the Bunnymen, The Fall and The Smiths had in spades.

commentsBeing sandwiched between “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy” doesn’t help. To me, “Caribou” it was just another great Elton John record which I enjoyed as much as the others.
commentsA punk-funk-soul one-two that leaves you dazed and delighted. That’s the headline. I just love taking risks with music but at the same time I’m quite hesitant when considering my choices.
commentsJamie Smith (XX) and his main collective The XX, are very hard to define musically. Despite borrowing from many different sources they still seem to be bereft of any definable genre.
commentsYou’ll want to listen to this record sober. Just saying. After returning from one of many end-of-year work dos, and putting this record on - my advice would be to play something a bit more conventional.
