KNEECAP return to bend genre, language, and rules. The most talked about artists
in the world are turning the page. A new chapter, new sounds, new manifestos.
A blistering album that revels in darkness while bursting through the void with
illuminated revery. This is FENIAN.
Produced by Dan Carey (Fontaines D.C., Kae Tempest, Wet Leg), FENIAN upends
expectations with an expansive sonic palate, traversing acid house, trip-hop,
dubstep, and more - Masters of rave and rap theatre, FENIAN represents Kneecap’s
most sophisticated exploration of language and sounds.
More darkness. More confrontation. More craic. More energy. More solidarity. More
absolute bangers. And more fuel for the unrelenting engine that powers this
unstoppable force. For their remarkable second album, Kneecap have come out
fighting.
Throughout, the sirens and alarms ring, and the chorus’s blast. Revolutionary and
rebellious, confrontational and impossibly catchy, inescapably intelligent and
brilliantly rendered, FENIAN doesn’t just represent the next phase in Kneecap’s
trajectory but stands as a remarkable record that thrills as much as it surprises. The
mayhem of their breakout year is a memory now. But Kneecap are neither dwelling
on that nor merely persevering through it. In FENIAN they excel, reaching a new
peak that is undeniable in its mastery.
Pressure makes diamonds, and FENIAN glistens with Kneecap’s uncut gems.
