(PRE-ORDER) Fontaines D.C.
Dopamine Chamber LP (blue marble vinyl)

Preorder shipping from 2026-10-21

"Fontaines D.C. release their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, on October 16, 2026 via XL Recordings. Produced by James Ford, it follows 2024’s Romance, the album that took the Dublin five-piece from critical favorites to one of the biggest bands in the world. Announced with lead single 'Marianne', Dopamine Chamber arrives like a constellation behind undulating sighs of smog: potent balladry, anthemic melodies glinting through the murk. In a world tipping towards collapse, it asks how pleasure mutates amid peril—and what our pursuit of it reveals about us. It’s the  sound of a band moving decisively away from the guitar language of their early records into something colder, stranger and more synthetic. Dopamine Chamber takes its title from the idea of a record as a room the listener steps into.  'The album itself is a dopamine chamber,' says Chatten. 'You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.'" - XL Recordings
