## Key points

- The article proposes five dream collaborators for Fontaines DC.
- Rosalía’s appearance on *Dopamine Chamber* inspires the speculation.
- The excerpt details links to Lana Del Rey, The Strokes and The Cure.

## Summary

The article imagines five possible collaborations for Fontaines DC, prompted by Grian Chatten’s past remarks about wanting to work with Lana Del Rey and news that Rosalía would appear on the band’s new album, *Dopamine Chamber*. It argues that the band’s growing openness to outside artists makes these speculative pairings seem more plausible.

The excerpt discusses Lana Del Rey, The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas and The Cure’s Robert Smith, linking each to Fontaines DC through shared influences, past comments or covers. Chatten praised Del Rey’s cinematic songwriting; the band once played The Strokes’ “Reptilia” while studying in Dublin; and Chatten has described The Cure as a formative influence, with Fontaines covering “Just Like Heaven” in 2022. The supplied article text ends before naming the remaining two collaborators.
