Fontaines D.C.'s fourth album, and the first since signing to XL Recordings, sees the Dublin post-punks widen their sound without losing an ounce of their edge. Produced by James Ford, Romance pushes into moodier, more expansive territory following 2022's chart-topping Skinty Fia.

Lead single Starburster is the sound of a band unafraid to lean into hip-hop-inflected rhythm and stream-of-consciousness lyricism, while the rest of the record moves between shoegazey haze and the taut, needling post-punk that made their name.
