The single will be the first taste of new music from the Dublin band since the release of their debut album Dogrel last year. The album catapulted Fontaines D.C. to international acclaim – reaching No.4 on the UK albums chart; landing them a performance slot on The Jimmy Fallon Show; picking up nominations for the Mercury Prize and the Choice Music Prize; and topping Rough Trade's annual list of the top 10 albums of the year. Capping off a landmark year, Fontaines D.C. also graced the cover of the Hot Press Annual – and took home the prestigious title of Hot Press Album of the Year.
