Dublin's most popular post-punk band Fontaines D.C. announced a new album later this year. With this album they finished their long-time collaboration with producer Dan Carey and it seems that they chosen a new road in their sound. Starburster. With nervous strings and subtle piano sprinkles, this song initially suggests a restrained sound like on Grian Chatten's solo album, but then transitions into an almost rapping vocal with crashing hip-hop drums. It is a good song and the more I listen to it the more I like it.
We don't have to worry about Dan Carey because he has already found other artists he can produce. His latest project is Friedberg, an Austrian-English band based in London that takes its name from the birthplace of singer Anna Wappel. Friedberg stands for a dark, rocking drive that meets intuitive melodies and a mystical vocal style. Post-punk and alternative rock borrowings merge with sensitive pop to create a sound that is both familiar and quirky at the same time. An interesting new discovery that could be worth following
