GeeHOST
Mm.
MikeHOST
Um, but I do love Dogrel.
MikeHOST
Like those two albums are amazing.
GeeHOST
Yeah.
MikeHOST
And like it's cool that they're going in a, in a new direction, but it just does not feel like the same, and it's not the reason I like them.
GeeHOST
Mm.
MikeHOST
And like, you know, I loved the heavy guitars and the apocalyptic kind of feeling of A Hero's Death, and Dogrel was like such a banging album of just like rock and roll.
GeeHOST
Yeah.
Stephen WhiteHOST
In albums like Motamami and Lux, the rich tapestry of Rosalía's culture is always a part of it.
Stephen WhiteHOST
In much the same way it was for Fontaine's in Dogrel, A Hero's Death, Skinty Fia and in Romance.
Stephen WhiteHOST
Indeed, Romance is probably more linked to Rosalia than the other albums themselves.
Stephen WhiteHOST
It takes our art, our literature and our experience and puts it through something that's hyper-realised, something that meets the moment of now.
Stephen WhiteHOST
There's nothing particularly friendly with this record or even sing-along.
Stephen WhiteHOST
Indeed, Fontaines could have made it a whole album of favourites and leaned into the kind of Britpop early 2000s revival that's happening right now.
Stephen WhiteHOST
Indeed, it's closer in relationship to something like Charli XCX's rock music than it is actually to Dogrel itself.
Stephen WhiteHOST
And with that will come attention.
Steven HydenHOST
You know, a band that was doing talky, post-punk music with a kind of, like, a blue collar, streetwise, uh, flavor to it.
Steven HydenHOST
Their, their first record, Dogrel, I remember coming out and not really feeling it at all, and kind of dismissing them on the basis of that record.
Steven HydenHOST
And not really paying attention to this band really until five years later when they put out their record, Romance, in 2024.
Steven HydenHOST
And I remember this being an album that a lot of people who listened to the show reached out and said, "You ought to give this band another chance." Like, "This band's really grown.
Rachel Mae HannonHOST
So between 2019 and 2023, they had a few awards that really just kind of escalated them, catapulted them into, uh, the global scene.
Rachel Mae HannonHOST
Because in 2019, Dogrel earned a Mercury Prize nomination.
Dre MorganHOST
Mm.
Rachel Mae HannonHOST
And then their second album, A Hero's Death, received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album in 2021.
Alan CorrGUEST
But they got together because of poetry, and indeed, they would've published, uh, a couple of collections, anthologies of their own poetry.
Alan CorrGUEST
So if you listen to the new, the first couple of albums, um, uh, The Hero's Death and, uh, Dogrel, it's, it's enriched, immersed in, in a very poetic thing.
Alan CorrGUEST
I mean, Green Tedder is more likely to quote Patrick Kavanagh, a man close to your heart, Oliver-
Oliver CallanHOST
Yes
ConorHOST
Yeah.
ConorHOST
Um, I'd like, I'd like a little revisit to the Dogrel days-
MikeHOST
Yeah, me too
ConorHOST
... personally.
Ann PowersHOST
I'm very excited to talk about this new album.
Ann PowersHOST
I've been following y'all since Dogrel, and, uh, I've loved the evolution of the band.
Ann PowersHOST
It's really exciting to watch a band grow over such a, actually, relatively brief number of years.
Ann PowersHOST
I, I mean, y'all make albums at a pretty intense pace for the 2020s, I think.
Aoife BarryHOST
Um, I think just 'cause when I was growing up I wasn't a horror person, so I just didn't gravitate towards it.
Aoife BarryHOST
But I really want to address, address that, [laughs] and this is his, like, debut novel as well, so this is what made him the man that he was.
Aoife BarryHOST
Um, so yeah, the...
Aoife BarryHOST
I haven't watched it in many years, but the, uh, Brian De Palma film is, uh, excellent and really chilling and, and really good.
10 MINS LATER
Lauren MurphyHOST
The themes-
Aoife BarryHOST
Yeah
Lauren MurphyHOST
... that they seem to be exploring this time are, like, they've talked about themes of escapism, about having, um, a relationship with place, which kind of all of their records since their very Dublin-centric debut, Dogrel, have had.
Lauren MurphyHOST
There's themes of AI.
JamieHOST
Mm.
JakeHOST
This to me feels actually like- What Skinny Fear was to Dogrel.
JakeHOST
Kind of similar sort of themes approached from a different direction-
JamieHOST
Yeah
