In this episode of The Last Mixed Tape, I explore Skinty Fia by Fontaines D.C. and ask a big question: could this already be the defining Irish album of the 21st century?
Looking at the record through five key criteria; cultural relevance, popular resonance, iconic status, influence and artistry, the episode dives into the themes of identity, emigration and modern Irish culture that run through the album. I also explore how Fontaines D.C. sit within a wider wave of contemporary Irish artists reshaping how Irishness is expressed in music.
The Last Mixed Tape is hosted by Stephen White, and is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
