Produced by James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Foals, Depeche Mode), the forthcoming ‘Romance’ has already been previewed by the single ‘Starbuster’. In a glowing five-star review of the track, NME noted how Fontaines D.C. had “taken a perfect left turn” to usher in their next chapter.

It added: “Leaning on the Massive Attack trip-hop noir vibes first hinted at on [2022 album] ‘Skinty Fia’’s title track, ‘Starburster’ is a pensive art-rock beast that fuses elements of electronica and hip-hop more akin to their fellow striking countrymen (and recent collaborators) KNEECAP.”

The tracklist for Fontaines D.C.’s ‘Romance is:

1. ‘Romance’
2. ‘Starburster’
3. ‘Here’s The Thing’
4. ‘Desire’
5. ‘In The Modern World’
6. ‘Bug’
7. ‘Motorcycle Boy’
8. ‘Sundowner’
9. ‘Horseness Is The Whatness’
10. ‘Death Kink’
11. ‘Favourite’
