Fontaines D.C. “think they could do a really good tune” with Lana Del Rey
nme.comFontaines DC have said they think they could do “a really good tune” with Lana Del Rey.Speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read, the band’s vocalist Grian Chatten said he wanted to write songs with Rey when discussing some possible future collaborations.“I just want to write some tunes with her,” Chatten told NME. “Her music leans into an era of cinema that I love, and she writes in a way where people can find stories in her music.
I honestly think we’d do a really good tune together.”The band also said they’d like to work with Northampton rapper Slowthai in the future.“Slowthai has got an incendiary quality,” Chatten said. “It’s just so refreshing to work with somebody who has an incredibly open mind.
His charisma reminds me of something that I read about Mick Jagger before, where those around him would be able to identify his distinctive voice in an instant.
That’s what Slowthai is becoming.”Elsewhere in the Big Read, Fontaines said that the future of the band could see them moving away from using guitars completely.Chatten and drummer Tom Coll discussed the creation of the band’s new album ‘Skinty Fia’, which was recorded live to tape over a two-week period.“Whenever I have an idea for a tune, it doesn’t necessarily exist in a world of guitars and drums, even though those are the tools that we have to express ourselves with,” Chatten said.
