FONTAINES DC - Skinty Fia LP instrumental and South American '70's psychedelia

and South American '70's psychedelia

showing a penchant for highly developed pop songwriting skills mixed with the speedy garage punk/pop sound of their first LP

with the 50-60s’ simplicity and lyrics of love and heartbreaks (which somehow manage to avoid sounding like a cliché)

I was privileged to hear a version of this fantastic song by a great band

FONTAINES DC - Skinty Fia LP instrumental and South American '70's psychedeliaFontaines DC continue their meteoric rise with studio album #3 coming 3 years on from their debut. While 'Dogrel' and 'A Hero's Death' were 2 sides of the same coin, 'Skinty Fia' shows progression on several levels. It is still quintessentially a guitar album and is unmistakably a Fontaines record but there are subtle changes both sonically and thematically that make this their finest hour to date.
