Fontaines D.C. and Rosalía Release “Where Is Gone?”

Fontaines D.C. and Rosalía have shared Where Is Gone?, the third preview of the band's fifth album Dopamine Chamber, due October 16, 2026 via XL Recordings. The artist's release announcement identifies this as the first artist collaboration on a Fontaines album. Guitarist Carlos O'Connell connects Rosalía's Spanish musical traditions with the band's Irish roots. Original Drama Docket commentary considers how those shared roots could give listeners a reason to explore the other artist's work. Fresh NME coverage published October 13; the single was already shared, and this is not a claim it debuted this hour. Archival photographs from 2019 and 2023, not images from the new collaboration. No song audio or lyrics used. Original Drama Docket commentary.
