Further Details

Title: Romance
Condition: New
Description: Highly-anticipated fourth studio album by Fontaines D.C. 'Romance' is the band's first album with producer James Ford and is without doubt their most assured, inventive and sonically adventurous record yet. It builds on the success of the Dublin-made, now London-based band's acclaimed 2022 album 'Skinty Fia', which reached number 1 in the UK and Irish album charts and saw the band receiving a host of accolades including 'International Group of the Year' at the 2023 BRIT Awards. 'Romance' is Fontaines D.C.'s most ambitious, expansive record yet, its 11 tracks constellating ideas that have been percolating among Grian Chatten (vocals), Carlos O'Connell (guitar), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan (bass), and Tom Coll (drums) since they released 'Skinty Fia' in 2022. These ideas crystalised while touring the U.S. and Mexico with Arctic Monkeys as the five band members shared music and found a throughline with artists that deftly build out their own sprawling creative worlds: the attitude and aesthetic sheen of artists like Shygirl and Sega Bodega, the bolshy sonic palettes of hip hop and heavy metal, Mos Def, A$AP Ferg, OutKast and Korn. They had time apart to build more singular visions for what future music could be: O'Connell went to Spain's Castile-La Mancha and later became a new father, while Chatten spent time in LA, and Deegan in Paris. They laid deeper roots in London. Each member spent time pushing their boundaries - experimental riffs, chord progressions, and far-flung lyrical references without intentions for a record. After wrapping up the US arena tour in Autumn 2023, they spent a month writing together again, three weeks of pre-production in a North London studio, and a month in a chateau close to Paris, sleeping among studio equipment, completely immersed.
