Dogrel - Fontaines D.C. (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a vinyl LP pressing of Dogrel by Fontaines D.C. The album situates the band within a rich Irish cultural tradition—rooted more in the raw, honest spirit of Behan than the polished fame of Bono—drawing inspiration from poets like Kavanagh, Lynott, Chevron, MacGowan, and even Joyce. Much like Lou Reed’s New York, Ray Davies’ London, or The Smiths’ Manchester, Dogrel captures the universal human experience through the lens of local, familiar life. The album’s title reflects this ethos with a nod to its dictionary meaning: crude verse of little artistic worth, representing the raw, everyday poetry of docks, factories, and working-class neighborhoods. It’s an authentic voice of the people, embraced by the band with both respect and wit, revealing a profound beauty beneath the roughness.
