Fontaines D.C. - Nabokov (Reading Festival 2022)

[@willdickinson1733]

Very very clever guitar work on this. They’ve almost created their own wall of sound, synonymous to them.

[@dreamtree1510]

Without a doubt heavily inspired by My Blood Valentine.

[@silverlink8805]

Yeah, if all their songs sounded like this they would be considered a shoegaze band

[@James-nz8hp]

Listen to Placebo. Shoegaze doesn’t quite fit.

[@ceterisparibus6261]

hmmm @@dreamtree1510 I can sort of see that in this song. . But to @willdickinson1733 can you elaborate more? how is it clever in your opinion. ?? just wondering what type of techniques were they showcasing that made you think? I mean. To me. There is like 3 layers of sounds in guitar. Is it clever. Yea well most bands have to have some clever like structure. Big shot is an exceptional song though!!!!

[@iamcase1245]

They're a mix of Indie and Shoegaze. I can see they're Placebo fans but they're HEAVILY influenced by late 80s and early 90s shoegaze, along with early 2000s Post-Punk and Indie. @@James-nz8hp

[@joemcs2k8]

Carlos’ guitar work is incredible, adds so much depth to the sound

[@aldoeljardinero]

Some good ole shoegaze influences

One of the best sets if I’ve ever experienced. This band can only go up

[@patrickryan5570]

The bass line on that track is bad ass - This sounds epic - Fontaines DC are delivering something very special - A truly great band.

unban your music in russia. we are not to blame, and music should be out of politics. It's time to realize that bans only make things worse. not all people support the war, you can’t smear everyone with just black or white //разбаньте свою музыку в россии. мы не виноваты, а музыка должна быть вне политики. пора понять, что запреты делают только хуже. не все люди поддерживают войну, нельзя мазать всех только черным или белым

@@WhatTheFrack the band look cool, he just looks like some bloke and his delivery is a bit oafish. I do tend prefer guitar bands without a front person vocalist. There always has to be something for them to do. Otherwise I'm loving the sound of the band.
