Romance - Fontaines D.C.
XL1436LP
$49.99
ROMANCE is the most electrifying and ambitious record yet from Fontaines D.C., the Irish indie‑rock heavyweights whose rise has been nothing short of explosive. The album sees Grian Chatten’s swaggering stream‑of‑consciousness lyricism collide with high‑voltage production from James Ford — known for his work with Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode and Blur — creating a sound that’s sharper, darker and more cinematic than anything the band has done before.
From the pulsing title track “Romance” to the frantic energy of “Starburster”, the album pushes the band into new territory while keeping their signature grit intact. Tracks like “Here’s The Thing,” “Desire,” “Sundowner,” and “Death Kink” showcase a group operating at full creative tilt, blending post‑punk urgency with widescreen emotional depth.
Pressed on standard black vinyl and released via XL Recordings, ROMANCE is a major moment for one of the most important guitar bands of the decade.
