Romance (VINYL) | Mint (M) Mint (M)

*BRAND NEW

Irish indie rock sensation Fontaines D.C. return with new album ROMANCE, their debut on XL Recordings, out on August 23rd. Recorded shortly after their tour supporting Arctic Monkeys, it seizes on the momentum of 2022’s Skinty Fia, which firmly established them as one of today’s most exciting rock bands. ROMANCE represents a bold sonic and stylistic evolution for the band and lead single “Starburster” (out April 17) shows the band at their most electrifying to date, as Chatten’s swaggering stream of consciousness collides with explosive production.
