Fontaines D.C. have announced their upcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, set to release in October on XL. The follow-up to their 2024 release, Romance, was produced by James Ford. The band teased the new album with their debut single, Marianne, which features visual accompaniment by director Dave Meyers. Frontman Grian Chatten revealed that the inspiration for Dopamine Chamber came from his travels through Venice, Vienna, and Sicily, leading to a more "corrupted" atmosphere compared to their previous work.
Chatten explained that the album aims to reflect the "ugliness honestly" and serve as a "catastrophic warning," with Marianne showcasing new sonic territories for the group. The band recently performed Marianne at the final BBC Maida Vale session, with the footage and music video now available. Fontaines D.C. will embark on a tour, starting with performances in Lausanne, Austria, Reading, Leeds, and Electric Picnic in Ireland, followed by U.S. dates in Atlanta, NJ, and California. The album is slated for release on October 16 via XL, and pre-orders are now open.
