Rosalía is the guest artist on a Fontaines D.C. album, appearing on ‘Where Is Gone?’ from Dopamine Chamber, which is out on Friday October 16th.
Fontaines D.C. have a big name on their fifth album.
The Dublin band have revealed the full tracklist for Dopamine Chamber, and it includes a collaboration with Rosalía on ‘Where Is Gone?’, track eight of eleven.
It’s the first time Grian Chatten, Carlos O’Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan and Tom Coll have brought a guest artist onto one of their records.
The album is produced by James Ford, who also worked on 2024’s Romance, and was recorded between London, the English countryside and Palermo. In Sicily, Chatten sang his vocals in a makeshift booth built out of mattresses and cushions.

The band are pitching it as their furthest move yet from the guitar sound of their early records, with the lyrics looking at how pleasure changes shape when the world feels like it’s on the brink.
“The album itself is a dopamine chamber. You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you.”
Grian Chatten
Lead single ‘Marianne’ is out now, and ‘Six Shot Morning’ opens the record.
