Info for Chaos For The Fly

Daß er eine äusserst interessante Stimme besitzt, die er auf charismatische Weise einzusetzen vermag, bewies er ja schon ausgiebig als Sänger der irischen Post-Punks von Fontaines D.C. auf 3 Alben. Auf seinem Solo-Debut-Album sind die musikalischen Umgebungen etwas anders geartet, es wurde auf ein unterschiedliches Intrumentarium zurückgegriffen, das aus unverzerrter Gitarre, herrlich schnurrendem Bass, Klavier und einer Fidel besteht, dazu gesellen sich bisweilen Streicherkaskaden und Bläser verschiedener Art, dezente eingesetzte Produktionstricks und zusätzlicher Backgroundgesang. Das Flair des Albums reicht von Versöhnlichkeit über Ausdruck innerer Unruhe bis zu Croonerei. Für Chatten die idealen Umgebungen, um seine Stimme und poetischen texten neu zu kontextualisieren. "Fairlines" ist eine klasse, mit einem synkopischem Beat druckvoll nach vorne gehende Uptempo-Nummer mit Handclaps und mäandrierender Fidel, die Chatten´s Stimme ebenso die volle Entfaltung ermöglicht wie das ebenfalls verletzlich, aber auch kraftvoll wirkende "The Score", bei dem eine gezupfte Gitarre, ein toller Bass und Drumcomputerbeat als Einbettung dienen. Das Album wurde dreißig Meilen nördlich von Dublin geboren, wo sich an einer windgepeitschten Promenade inmitten vergessener Küstenstädte ein kleines, verstecktes Kasino befindet, ein Schlupfloch, an dem Billardkugeln und das Klirren von Gläsern in der Lounge-Bar vom allgegenwärtigen Surren der Spielautomaten widerhallt. Von Dan Carey mitproduziert.

Grian Chatten
Ireland's premier post-punk quintet Fontaines D.C. are generating a reputation for being one of indie rock's most exciting acts. Across five years and three albums, the five-piece have attracted fans the world over with their abrasive, punk-inspired vocals, catchy melodies, and quick-paced rhythms -- a formula that grows even more powerful in a live setting.

Band members Grian Chatten (vocals), Carlos O'Connell (guitar), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan III (bass), and Tom Coll (drums) originally met in Dublin, where they were attending college at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute. Bonding over a shared love of poetry, they soon began writing their own verses and self-releasing singles.

The band initially called themselves "The Fontaines" after a character in The Godfather (Johnny Fontane, the godson of Vito Corleone), but they added the "D.C." (for Dublin City) after learning that a band in Los Angeles were also called The Fontaines.

In May 2017, D.C. Fontaines released the single "Liberty Belle," a reference to Dublin's Liberties neighborhood. That was followed by "Hurricane Laughter"/"Winter In the Sun." The next year, D.C. Fontaines released "Chequeless Reckless"/"Boys In The Better Land" and "Too Real." Their star rose in the U.S. when Seattle radio station KEXP invited them to play an in-studio set, and D.C. Fontaines were then signed to prominent indie label Partisan Records.

In 2019, D.C. Fontaines released their debut album, Dogrel. The name is a reference to "Doggerel," another name for working-class Irish poetry, or "poetry of the people." That same year, D.C. Fontaines toured extensively, stopping in 50 cities throughout Ireland, Europe, and North America. They also made their late-night TV debut on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," performing "Boys in the Better Land."

In 2020, D.C. Fontaines released their sophomore album, A Hero's Death, which earned them a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 2021 Grammy Awards. They also returned to "The Tonight Show," where they performed their album's title track.

In early 2022, D.C. Fontaines announced their third studio album, Skinty Fia, and shared a lead single, "Jackie Down the Line." Now that they are more established, D.C. Fontaines have been widely recognized as the ringleaders in a wave of '20s post-punk revivalist acts from the UK, including IDLES, Dry Cleaning, Shame, and more.
