The Dublin band have released the second single from their album “Romance”, after ‘Starburster’ in April. ‘Favourite’ is a song that finds the band at their most Whipping Boy-esque with a sound that feels like a /throwback late 80s Irish indie rock and ’90s UK indie touchstones like early Stone Roses. It closes the record…the new Fontaines D.C. song called “Favourite” The new song features the band interpolating some Americana touchstones into their own brand of propulsive post-punk, giving some serious Springsteen and War on Drugs vibes to their venomous concoctions. When the chorus comes around, though, we get ourselves right back to OSFDC (old-school Fontaines D.C.) territory.
The song will be featured on the band’s upcoming fourth album, “Romance”, out August 23rd via XL Recordings, and it comes alongside a music video directed by the band and shot in Madrid. Cool city. I’ve been there.
