Fontaines D.C. 'Tongue' by John Angus Stewart

Promonews - 2nd Oct 2026

Fontaines D.C. reveal another track from their upcoming album Dopamine Chamber, via a discombulating encounter with the band by John Angus Stewart - filmed in New York City, on a bus crossing from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

The video for Tongue is as lo-fi as the previous one, for Marianne, was super-stylised. But the effect of bringing us into the Fontaines world is consistent with that and their other videos. It's slightly unnerving, with singer blue-tinged Griann's face in close-up for much of the video, bar the occasional swerve to the other band members with the Manhattan skyline beyond.  

As it says on the end credits, it was filmed by the band themselves - and that does not come as a surprise. It's also shot on some basic, possibly old, equipment. But under John Angus Stewart's supervision the blurriness is a device to give the band back their edge.
