Skinty Fia is an album by Fontaines D.C., released in 2022. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 26 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Jackie Down The Line”, on 13 lists and voted number one once.
Skinty Fia, the third album from Irish rock band Fontaines D.C., landed on Partisan Records on 22 April 2022, and it's a dark, brooding record with gothic rock in its bones. Dan Carey produced it, as he had Dogrel and A Hero's Death, and he lets the gloom pool: shadowy guitars from Conor Curley and Carlos O'Connell, Tom Coll's drums rolling in like weather, and Grian Chatten intoning over the top.
The title comes from an old Irish saying Coll's great-aunt liked to use, which translates as "the damnation of the deer", and the cover nods to the extinct Irish elk. It made them chart-toppers in Ireland and the UK for the first time, won them the Brit Award for International Group in 2023, and picked up a Choice Music Prize nomination. "Jackie Down The Line" and "Roman Holiday" lead the charge.
