Product description

This is a 2021 Repress released as a LP.

Emerging from the raw energy of their Mercury Prize-nominated debut Dogrel, Fontaines D.C. deliver their second studio album, A Hero’s Death, with a bold step forward into post-punk’s hypnotic and cerebral depths. Released on July 31, 2020, through Partisan Records, the album captures the Irish band’s evolution while staying true to their poetic lyricism and driving rhythms. Clocking in at 46 minutes, A Hero’s Death weaves through 11 tracks that blend introspective musings with anthemic intensity, proving why Fontaines D.C. quickly became a standout voice in modern post-punk.

The title track, A Hero’s Death, sets the tone with its punchy basslines and Grian Chatten’s distinctive vocal delivery, while standout cuts like I Don’t Belong and Televised Mind showcase the band’s knack for blending social commentary with infectious hooks. Tracks such as Love Is the Main Thing and the dreamy A Lucid Dream offer a mix of melancholy and urgency, underscoring the album’s ability to balance rawness with refinement. Whether it’s the yearning of You Said or the anthemic drive of Living in America, Fontaines D.C. crafts a cohesive yet dynamic listening experience that feels both urgent and timeless.

Recorded in the shadow of a chaotic 2020, A Hero’s Death resonates as a defiant and poetic response to the times—an album that doesn’t just reflect the moment but elevates it into something visceral and unforgettable. With its sharp production and lyrical depth, it cements Fontaines D.C.’s place as one of post-punk’s most compelling new voices.

Right away, you can hear the loudness and clarity—it’s been pressed well. You can really pick up more details in the mix than on the digital version.
Impeccable vinyl pressing quality

J’ai reçu mon exemplaire directement de Partisan Records, et après l’avoir déballé, j’ai utilisé ma brosse anti-statique sur le vinyle : même les morceaux les plus discrets du second LP sont exempts de pops ou de défauts. Les deux disques sont parfaitement plats et sonnent à merveille ! J’ai vraiment eu de la chance en entendant les retours des autres acheteurs. J’adore recevoir des albums aussi bien mixés qu’*A Hero’s Death* sur le support 45 tours. À mon avis, si vous avez un système hi-fi qui ne pardonne rien, cette édition est la seule à envisager. Le vinyle coloré, c’est sympa, mais écouter un album comme celui-ci sur une presse de qualité, c’est encore mieux.

Even after using a wet vac dry system for cleaning, there's quite a bit of surface noise remaining.
A Hero’s Death: Contemplative, hypnotic
5 out of 5 stars

This record snuck up on me. If Dogrel was all fire and immediacy, A Hero’s Death dials it back—more contemplative, even hypnotic, like the band exhaled and turned their gaze inward. There’s a heaviness here. A simmering unease. Songs like “I Don’t Belong” and “Sunny” don’t shout for your ears—they seduce you, slow and steady. Grian’s vocals feel like he’s muttering to himself half the time, and that’s precisely why it lingers. The Vinyl Me, Please edition is gorgeous. That seafoam green (or maybe turquoise, depending who you ask) pops in the light. Debossed sleeve, gold foil numbering—it’s clear someone cared about the craftsmanship, not just slapping it in a shrink wrap and calling it a day. The sound was a pleasant surprise—crisp and balanced, with just enough room for the guitars to gleam and the vocals to slice clean. Quiet pressing too. Perfect for an album that takes its sweet time—and pays you back in kind.
