AFTER bursting back on the scene a couple of weeks ago with the potent title track of their second album, Fontaines D.C are back with another taster of ‘A Hero’s Death’.
‘I Don’t Belong’ isn’t a massive departure for the Dublin punk outfit but it certainly shows their more contemplative side. Grian Chatten plaintively sings over a dark, smouldering backdrop powered by a brooding bassline, shadowy guitars and Joy Division-inspired atmospherics. “I don’t belong to anyone / I don’t want to belong to anyone,” he sings.
Said to be the opening track on the album, it’s a gentle, meandering preview of what to expect.
‘A Hero’s Death’ will arrive on 31st July via Partisan Records.
