Fontaines D.C., the trailblazers of Irish post-punk, are back, casting a thrilling spell with their newest offering. In an enigmatic move, the band has released a visualiser for ‘Romance’, fueling speculation about their upcoming album.

The air is thick with anticipation as Fontaines D.C., the quintessential voice of modern Irish post-punk, teases their fervent fan base with a cryptic and unsettling new video titled ‘Romance’. Darting into the public eye this afternoon, the gripping clip sows a seed of eerie unrest in the hearts of viewers, commanding attention and intrigue.

The band draws haunting parallels to Stanley Kubrick’s legendary ‘The Shining’, introducing a starkly deserted hallway, coupled with two brown armchairs looming ominously before the orange glow of elevator doors. This visual homage pivots into the realm of the surreal as a torrent of neon green gunge surges forth, a stark, vibrant departure from the crimson tide of the iconic movie scene.

  • Frontman Grian Chatten’s vocals creep through the soundscape, weaving a tale of darkness, devotion, and despair, leaving listeners hanging on every word.
  • As the music swells, the vibrant deluge intensifies, painting the macabre scene in an even more unsettling light.

What’s more, this spine-tingling presentation follows the heels of another bizarre and short visual featuring Chatten in an abstract and somewhat startling setting, further shrouding their musical intentions in mystery.

No official word has spilled on the album’s title, yet the pieces of the puzzle – the ‘Romance’ visualiser, paired with the potent word emblazoned across recent social teasers – begin to form a picture that loyal followers eagerly attempt to discern. The whispers of ‘Romance’ are growing louder and are poised to culminate in what promises to be a groundbreaking auditory journey.

Since the release of their 2022 album ‘Skinty Fia’, the indomitable Fontaines D.C. has not idled. Their artistry has continued to flourish, from the reverent covering of ‘Cello Song’ on a Nick Drake tribute compilation to Chatten’s adventurous plunge into solo waters with ‘Chaos For The Fly’.
