Fontaines D.C. have launched ‘Favorite’, the second preview of their upcoming fourth album Romance. Vocalist Grian Chatten describes the track, which arrives on the heels of lead single ‘Starburster’, as having “this unending sound to it, a steady cycle from euphoria to unhappiness, two worlds spinning without end.” Test it out through the accompanying video, self-directed by the band, beneath.
Fontaines D.C.’s Conor Deegan had this to say concerning the clip:
This video is a reminiscing of the previous; of one another’s childhoods we didn’t know. To see individuals we all know on an intimate degree as adults within the tender ages of childhood, we discover the place we got here from, and who on some degree, nonetheless are. I see loads of acquainted faces being pulled, and the antics these lads are enterprise of their movies are so disarming and susceptible to see. I’m at occasions reminded of boyish mannerisms that they’ve grown out of within the time I’ve recognized them – and a few that they haven’t. I really feel their souls there.
I would really like this video to function a method of honouring our friendships, and shifting from that, the relationships we maintain expensive. Our moms, fathers, siblings, aunties and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers. Those that we nonetheless have, and people we’ve sadly misplaced.
We haven’t misplaced that connection to one another, and will not be afraid to come back of age once more, holding on to romance in a typically making an attempt world.
Romance arrives August 23 through XL Recordings.
