Fontaines D.C. Unveils Their “Favourite” Single From Their Highly Anticipated New Album

Fontaines D.C. have unveiled “Favourite”, the second single from their highly anticipated fourth album ROMANCE– out August 23rd via XL Recordings.

“Favourite”, the new album’s gorgeous finalé, soars as a shimmering, clear-eyed love song replete with harmonies, jangling guitars, and heartfelt, ardent lyrics. It’s a song the band’s Grian Chatten describes as having “this never-ending sound to it, a continuous cycle from euphoria to sadness, two worlds spinning forever” and is destined to be a firm fan favourite following its debut outing at the band’s sold out Brooklyn Warsaw show in April. In addition, the band will perform the song live on Later With Jools Holland this Saturday 22nd June.

The accompanying “Favourite” music video, self-directed by the band themselves, documents a recent trip to Madrid. It’s a city
Fontaines D.C. have multiple personal connections to, as the place guitarist Carlos O’Connell was born and grew up in and the city the band used as a base for their first ever tour. Cut with childhood footage of the five band members, it’s an intimate, feelgood portrait of a group on the verge of their next stratospheric leap.
