The fifth Fontaines D.C. album, produced by James Ford, and the sound of a band walking away from the guitar language that built them. Where Romance opened the door, Dopamine Chamber steps through into something colder and more synthetic: potent balladry, anthemic melodies glinting through the murk, lead single Marianne arriving like a signal flare. Grian Chatten describes the record as a room you step into, where different mind-altering pieces of music get tested on you. It asks what happens to pleasure in a world tipping toward collapse.
