Grian Chatten - "Salt Throwers off a Truck" KUTX Pop-Up Session

Grian Chatten, lead singer of Fontaines D.C. joins KUTX 98.9 for a pop-up session Sept. 15, 2023 Filmed at Eastwoods Park.
Unlike the blunt, driving messages of the Fontaines’ music, the songs on Chaos For The Fly slow down to admire the view and take in the scenery. They’re full of imagery and atmosphere.
“Narrowing the tools down to just myself and the guitar on the road demanded more heavy lifting be done by the lyrics, you know what I mean? I had to write the instrumentation into the words, nearly. I’ve kind of got so many, so many kinds of notes and thoughts I like to keep track of. And I really don’t like having a full caché, especially when we’re on the cusp of writing a new album as we are with Fontaines DC. I really like the idea of beginning kind of with an intention for a record. This album kind of felt a little bit like a clearing of the decks in some regards.”
