What are the 23 different instruments that make up ‘Dopamine Chamber’?

Fontaines DC’s fifth album, *Dopamine Chamber*, broadens the band’s guitar-led post-punk sound with an unusually wide range of instruments and electronics. The article presents the shift as a sign of the group’s willingness to experiment as its audience and profile grow.

The recording credits list 23 instruments, including guitars, bass and drums alongside synthesiser, strings, piano, Mellotron, tambourine and triangle. Producer James Ford contributes several synthesizers, while tape manipulation adds further texture; the Rosalía collaboration ‘Where Is Gone?’ features acoustic and Fender VI guitars, electric cello, piano and strings.
