Album context and artistic intent
Dopamine Chamber is described as the band's most radical sonic turn yet. Produced by James Ford, the album was recorded between London, the English countryside, and Palermo, where frontman Grian Chatten recorded vocals in a makeshift booth built from mattresses and cushions. The album includes the previously released singles 'Marianne' and 'Tongue' and features a collaboration with ROSALÍA on the track 'Where Is Gone?'. The band has built a reputation for refusing to repeat themselves across their five albums, which include Dogrel (2019), A Hero's Death (2020), the UK and Irish number one Skinty Fia (2022), and Romance (2024). Grian Chatten framed the new work as an experiment. "The album itself is a dopamine chamber," he said. "You step inside and we test these different mind- or mood-altering pieces of music on you." He added that the record carries a poignant sense of being on the brink of a new form of humanity. The tour ends with a closing night at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California on October 15, 2027.
