Grian Chatten, the frontman for Fontaines D.C., has revealed plans for a second solo album. He anticipates this new record will be "a lot more lively and a bit more kind of festival-ready."
This announcement follows the upcoming release of Fontaines D.C.'s fifth album, 'Dopamine Chamber', which is due out tomorrow, Friday 16 October. Chatten indicated that after the album's release and a major 2027 tour, the band intends to take some time off.
Chatten's first solo record, 'Chaos For The Fly', was released in 2023 and featured a more subdued and introspective sound. He explained that working on solo material offers a different creative outlet from his band work.
