The first single from Dopamine Chamber, the fifth Fontaines D.C. album, out on XL on October 16 and produced again by James Ford. Partly inspired by Ripley, the black-and-white series set on the Amalfi coast, it is a slow, haunted invitation to slip away from your own life; Grian Chatten sang the album’s vocals in Palermo, in a booth built from mattresses and cushions. It became the band’s first single to spend two weeks in the UK Top 40, peaking at No. 19, and reached No. 4 in Ireland.
Fontaines D.C.: Grian Chatten, Carlos O’Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III, Tom Coll. Produced by James Ford. Recorded in London, the English countryside and Palermo. From Dopamine Chamber, XL Recordings, 2026. Photograph: Robert Rive, N.° 184. Atrani, albumen print, 1860s. Bibliothèque nationale de France.
