Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia [ Vinyl ]

Fontaines D.C.’s Skinty Fia marks the Irish post-punk band’s powerful third studio album, now available on vinyl LP.

Following the acclaim of 2020’s A Hero’s Death—which earned a #2 spot on the UK charts and nominations at the GRAMMYs, BRITs, and Ivor Novello Awards—Skinty Fia finds the band exploring darker, more expansive sonic territory. The title, a crassly anglicized Irish expression meaning “the damnation of the deer,” sets the tone for a record steeped in themes of identity, cultural erosion, and bittersweet romance.

Blending brooding guitars, poetic lyricism, and atmospheric production, Skinty Fia feels both intimate and politically charged. It’s a long-distance love letter that mourns the privatization of culture and the fading of heritage, while still delivering Fontaines D.C.’s signature energy and urgency.

Pressed on high-quality vinyl, this edition captures the band’s raw intensity and immersive soundscapes, making it essential for fans of post-punk, indie rock, and modern Irish music. Skinty Fia is a defining chapter in the band’s meteoric rise.
