Episode description
Irish band Fontaine’s D.C. formed over a shared love of poetry. In the early days, the band would meet at the pub, write verse, and recite it to one another. And that’s carried through to the music they make; across three albums they’ve created a compelling mood punctuated by some brilliant lyrics.
It’s why I gave them the theme of verse, and from Sinead O’Connor to A$AP Ferg, to The Pogues, this is, itself, a poetic conversation about the power of verse.
