Fontaines D.C., an Irish rock group, not exactly a singular artist, has had a profound yet peculiar impact on the industry. They carry their nationally renowned Dublin accent through their lyrics, which are tethered to a raw, brooding post-punk sound that pays homage to the old masters while embodying a thoroughly modern ethos. It's no surprise they've already garnered a Mercury Prize nomination. Their music is, in essence, poetry wrapped in grungy guitar licks and sullen vocal performances. It pulls at the heartstrings and stirs the mind in equal parts. In 2019, their debut album ‘Dogrel’ even took their motherland by storm and was named 'Album Of The Year' by BBC Radio 6.
Now for an amusing slice of Fontaines D.C. trivia you might not know, their name was inspired by their love for The Godfather film series. Fontaines were the homage to the character Johnny Fontane, and D.C. stands for Dublin City. Now, in the panorama of their music videos, one can observe a cinematic vibrancy. In "Big," we're drawn into a sepia-toned Dublin cityscape populated by the most charismatic child you’re likely to meet. Their videos, like their music, are stark, often monochromatic, holding a raw mirror to humanity. From the flickering art-house style of "A Hero's Death" to the harrowing poignancy of "I Don't Belong", their pieces are more than just accompanying visuals, they are stand-alone love letters to visual storytelling. They paint a vivid picture of their tunes, flowing with a grit and charm that's uniquely, undeniably Fontaines D.C.
