Skinty Fia

Description

The Dubliners are back with their most accomplished album to date, Skinty Fia!
In 2020, with A Hero's Death, Fontaines D.C. reached number two in the UK, was nominated for the GRAMMYs, BRITs, and Ivor Novello Awards, and sold out the Alexandra Palace in London. Today, the band returns with their third album in as many years: Skinty Fia. Used colloquially as an expletive, the title roughly translates from the Irish language as "the damnation of the deer"; the spelling has been roughly anglicized, and its meaning has diluted over generations. Both a bittersweet romance and a dark political triumph, the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, lamenting an increasingly privatized culture that risks disappearing, like the giant Irish deer.
