Fontaines D.C. – Dopamine Chamber [BLUE MARBLE VINYL IMPORT] – New LP

Fontaines D.C. release their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, on October 16, 2026. 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  is a dopamine chamber,” says Chatten. “You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
