Fontaines D.C. are fuelling their new album frenzy with an eerie video, titled ‘Romance’

Irish post-punk outfit Fontaines D.C. are sending their fans into a frenzy with a cryptic new visualiser titled ‘Romance’, hinting at their expected upcoming album.

The mysterious 90-second clip, unveiled this afternoon, is steeped in a sense of unease. Seemingly drawing inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, the visualiser features a deserted hallway with two brown armchairs facing each other positioned directly in front of a set of orange elevator doors. This scene is a clear homage to the film’s iconic scene, but with a chilling twist – a torrent of neon green gunge erupts from the doors instead of blood.

The accompanying music starts slow and eerie, with frontman Grian Chatten’s vocals delivering the lines: “Into the darkness again / In with the pigs in the pen / God knows I love you / Screws in my head / I will be beside you till you’re dead.” As the music intensifies, the green gunge spills out of the doors, adding to the unsettling atmosphere.

This visualiser follows a 30-second clip released last week, featuring a shirtless Chatten sporting bright green trousers, a black eye, and a body covered in cuts and bruises. In the bizarre scene, Chatten is seen petting a pig while a new song plays in the background.

While the band hasn’t officially confirmed the album title, both the ‘Romance’ visualiser and a recent social media update featuring the word “Romance” strongly suggest it could be the name of their highly-anticipated next project.

Fontaines D.C.’s most recent album, ‘Skinty Fia’, arrived in 2022. Since then, the band has kept busy with a cover of ‘Cello Song’ for the Nick Drake tribute album, The Endless Coloured Ways, and frontman Grian Chatten’s debut solo album, ‘Chaos For The Fly’.
