Fontaines D.C. return with their latest album Romance, their debut on XL Recordings. Recorded shortly after their tour supporting Arctic Monkeys, it seizes on the momentum of 2022's Skinty Fia; Romance marks a colder and starker shift away from their prior work, exuding a chillingly charismatic energy out of the exothermic reactions of booming rock production, free-associative rap-singing and apocalyptic themes. Led by the track 'Starburster', the album's locus of inspiration, which came to be after the band's frontman Grian Chatten suffered a panic attack at London's St. Pancras Station, we find ourselves morbidly over the moon for this grim album-length rumination on the now.
