Fontaines D.C. front man Grian Chatten has released his debut solo single, The Score, describing the track as a "bated breath of lust".
He wrote the song during breaks from the band's relentless touring schedule, granting Chatten the opportunity to start work on something very much for himself and occupying a different headspace from his hugely successful work within the band.
Speaking about the track, he says, "The Score is a heavyweight bated breath of lust. I wrote it in Madrid between an electric fan and a dying plant and I intend to keep it there. It was inspired by sugar and sunset."
Fontaines D.C. debuted at number one in Ireland and the UK with their third album, the critically acclaimed, Ivor Novello-nominated Skinty Fia, and won the BRIT award for International Group of the Year and Choice Music Prize for Irish Artist 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.
