Grian Chatten Announces Debut Solo Album "Chaos For The Fly" | out 30/06

Grian Chatten’s solo debut album Chaos For The Fly will be released on June 30th via Partisan Records. The Fontaines D.C. vocalist worked with producer Dan Carey on the record. New single, Fairlies, is streaming now alongside a video animated by Callum Scott-Dyson.

It's been a hectic but rewarding 12 months for Fontaines D.C., debuting at number one in both the UK and Ireland with their third album, the critically acclaimed, Ivor Novello nominated Skinty Fia, and taking home the BRIT award for International Group of the Year. It followed 2020’s A Hero’s Death, which was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2021 Grammys and their debut, 2019’s Dogrel, which was nominated for both the Mercury Music Prize and Ireland’s Choice Music Prize.

Thirty miles north of Dublin along a windswept promenade you’ll find a tired casino, the sort of place anyone familiar with the rusted seaside glamour of forgotten coastal towns will recognise. A now shuttered escape where the crack of pool balls and chink of glasses in the lounge bar reverberated within the ever-present whirr and jangle of slot machines. Unremarkable to some, perhaps, but it was where Chaos For The Fly was born.
