Irish quintet Fontaines D.C. have released a deluxe edition of their acclaimed fourth album, ROMANCE.

In addition to the recent new single “It’s Amazing To Be Young” and its Luna Carmoon-directed music video, the deluxe album also features the brand new, James Ford-produced song “Before You I Just Forget”. Completing the trio is a live, stripped-back version of “Starburster” which is melded with David Lynch’s “In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song)”, which originally featured on the soundtrack of Lynch’s 1977’s Eraserhead film.

Speaking on the new music, Conor Curley said “Before You I Just Forget is a song that started with a vision of this really blown out sound, something that heaved and shifted with new details becoming apparent every time you would listen. Like never being able to step in the same river twice, the song morphs and changes finishing with an incredible string part by Grian.”

  1. Romance
  2. Starburster
  3. Here's The Thing
  4. Desire
  5. In The Modern World
  6. Bug
  7. Motorcycle Boy
