Album of the Week – 22/04/22

A few really interesting new releases this week, including Pusha T which will excite many! There are also new releases from Marissa Nadler, Neko Case, Spiritualized, Old Crow Medicine Show and even the once great Primus!

Our choice is probably not that much of a surprise, but when you have a local band producing music this good, it’s hard to ignore it!

Album of the Week— Fontaines D.C. – Skinty Fia

Now the band return with their third record in as many years: Skinty Fia. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language into English as “the damnation of the deer”; the spelling crassly anglicized, and its meaning diluted through generations. Part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph – the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatized culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.
