Fontaines D.C. release their fourth album, Romance, via XL Recordings, marking their most confident and sonically adventurous work yet with producer James Ford. Building on their UK and Irish chart-topping 2022 album Skinty Fia, Romance explores grungy breaks, dystopian electronica, hip-hop beats, and dreamy textures. Inspired by diverse influences from hip hop to shoegaze, the album was crafted after global touring and time apart, reflecting personal growth and creative evolution. Lead single “Starburster,” inspired by a panic attack, showcases their intense, cathartic sound. Romance captures the band’s bold new direction, blending raw emotion with expansive sonic landscapes.
