“Big” by Fontaines D.C.
From the album Dogrel (2019)
“Big” by Fontaines D.C. appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2024. It was first released in 2019 on the album Dogrel. Its best result is #565 on The Best Opening Tracks of All Time.
"Big" is on Dogrel, the debut album from Dublin post-punk band Fontaines D.C., released by Partisan on 12 April 2019, and the writing credit goes five ways. Grian Chatten sings lead and shakes the tambourine, Conor Curley and Carlos O'Connell play guitar, with O'Connell adding baritone guitar, Conor Deegan III plays bass and Tom Coll drums. Dan Carey produced and mixed it, and Alexis Smith engineered.
The record arrived on a wave of praise. The Guardian's Ben Beaumont-Thomas said this was songwriting some bands take years to reach, if they ever do, and NME's Tom Connock heard a storyteller's voice and a snarling take on young disillusionment. Dogrel was up for Album of the Year at both the Choice Music Prize and the Mercury Prize in 2019.
