Fontaines D.C.'s anticipated third album, Skinty Fia, is out this Friday (preorder on translucent red vinyl) and the band have just shared one last track before the whole thing drops. While much of the album can be dark and heavy, "Roman Holiday" is one of its poppiest songs, with a warm nostalgic streak running through it.
“Roman Holiday makes me think of the wide streets of north London in the Summer and the urge to discover them at night time," frontman Grian Chatten told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "The thrill of being a gang of Irish people in London with a bit of a secret language and my first flat with my girlfriend.”
Watch the "Roman Holiday" lyric video below.
You can get our exclusive, limited edition translucent red vinyl edition of Skinty Fia, along with other Fontaines DC records, in our shop.
Fontaines D.C's tour with Just Mustard starts Thursday in Washington, D.C. and includes two nights at NYC's Brooklyn Steel on April 26 (sold out) and April 27 (tickets). All dates are listed below.
For those in NYC, there's also a Skinty Fia listening party happening this Friday at Pebble Bar (67 W 49th St) at 5 PM. Presented by Rough Trade, there will be drink specials, a raffle for tickets to the Brooklyn Steel shows, and more. More info on the listening party is here.
