Black Vinyl LP 

Irish indie rock sensation Fontaines D.C. return with their 2024 album, Romance, their debut on XL Recordings. 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," shows the band at their most electrifying to date, as Chatten's swaggering stream of consciousness collides with explosive production.

Debuting at #2 in the UK and since certified Platinum there, Romance delivered the band their first entry on the Billboard 200. It earned two Grammy noms (Best Rock Album and Best Alternative Music Performance for “Starburster”) and won International Group of the Year at the 2025 BRIT Awards. It also took the Album Award at the 2024 Rolling Stone UK Awards and Ireland’s Choice Music Prize, and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
