Fontaines D.C. Share Tongue

Fontaines D.C. have shared Tongue as the second single from their upcoming album Dopamine Chamber. The track is described as an industrial trip-hop song that returns to the sound of the previous album. Conor Curley said the song continues from where Romance left off.

Conor Deegan created the bass sound using a technique also used by Prince, while Carlos O’Connell processed Chatten’s vocals through a sampler to alter the pitch. The group previewed Tongue at Kings Theatre in New York on September 21.

A music video directed by John Angus Stewart shows the group moving around New York. Fontaines D.C. had previously shared the single Marianne.

Dopamine Chamber was produced by James Ford and will be released through XL on October 16. Rosalía will appear on Where Is Gone?, making her the album’s only guest and the first guest on any Fontaines D.C. album. The group recorded the song as a duet with Rosalía.
