Fontaines DC to Release Dopamine Chamber

Fontaines DC are releasing their fifth studio album, titled Dopamine Chamber. This follows their 2024 release Romance, which became the band's first platinum-certified album. The new record features Marianne as its lead single and closes with a track titled Intimate.

Lead singer Grian Chatten stated that he wanted to write about the loss of context on social media and the loss of what it means to be human. Guitarist Conor Curley stated before the album that he wanted to avoid sounds that directly evoke past era bands.

When the band announced the tracklist on Instagram, some fans reacted to the inclusion of Rosalía. Rosalía features on the duet Where Is Gone?, making her the first guest artist on any Fontaines DC album.
