Description
'Romance' marks the eagerly awaited fourth album from Fontaines D.C., their first collaboration with producer James Ford and a bold leap into new creative territory. Following the success of 'Skinty Fia'—a chart-topper in the UK and Ireland that earned them "International Group of the Year" at the 2023 Brit Awards—the band push beyond their punk origins toward a sound that is more expansive, cinematic, and deeply expressive. The record reflects their restless evolution, drawing from time spent touring with Arctic Monkeys and personal experiences across Spain, LA, Paris, and London. Lead single "Starburster", inspired by Grian Chatten’s panic attack in St Pancras station, sets the tone with frantic breaths, jagged rhythms, and visceral urgency.
Across its 11 tracks, 'Romance' balances grungy breakdowns with dystopian electronica and lush, dreamy textures. Songs like "Favourite" and "Death Kink" channel raw intensity, while "Here’s the Thing" and "Motorcycle Boy" reveal subtler melodic turns. The band’s signature intensity remains, but it’s refracted through darker, more experimental lenses, crafting an atmosphere that feels both unsettling and liberating. As Chatten explains, “We say things on this record we’ve wanted to say for a long time.” 'Romance' is a fearless statement from Fontaines D.C., as innovative as it is uncompromising.
