Fontaines D.C. concluded their final BBC Maida Vale session by unveiling their latest single, "Marianne." The band delivered a powerful and emotive performance of the track, showcasing its darker tones even amidst its anthemic, yearning chorus. The verses were particularly notable for their chiming synths, which were amplified in a live setting, reminiscent of high-pitched vibraphones being played deep within a vast cave.
The recording of the Maida Vale session took place on July 31st, marking the live debut of "Marianne." During the session, Fontaines D.C. also performed "Roy's Tune," a track from their 2019 debut album, Dogrel, and their recent single "It's Amazing to Be Young." These performances can be viewed below.
Established in 1934, the legendary Maida Vale studios in London have played host to a multitude of iconic BBC performances, including those by The Beatles, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, and PJ Harvey for John Peel's influential Radio 1 program. Fontaines D.C. are set to release their fifth album, Dopamine Chamber, on October 16th.
The band will support the album with a series of festival performances abroad and in the United States, including stops at Atlanta's Shaky Knees, Asbury Park's Sea.Hear.Now, and SoCal's Ohana Festival. Tickets for these shows can be purchased [here](http://www.example.com).
