Today, the Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. unveiled their latest music video titled "Bug." This release is part of their ongoing evolution as a band and continues to showcase their unique blend of energetic instrumentals and thought-provoking lyrics. The video, characterized by its raw visuals and dynamic storytelling, captures the raw essence of the band's sound, reflecting themes of urban life and existential musings that have been a hallmark of their work. Fans of the movie “Trainspotting” will devour this music vid.

Directed by celebrated Academy-Award®-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank, Cow), the stunning video is a short-form reimagination of Arnold’s lauded forthcoming film Bird and includes unseen footage exclusive to the “Bug” video.

“Bird” also sees Fontaines D.C.’s own Carlos O’Connell making his big screen debut while Fontaines D.C.’s music features prominently in the film’s soundtrack.

Of the “Bug” video, Carlos O’ Connell says, “Andrea Arnold was kind enough to cut up a sequence to our tune Bug featuring Barry Keoghan playing the character Bug in her new movie Bird. Bug’s a song that happened quickly and convinced everyone quicker. In my eyes, the character Bug, the tattoo “Bug’s Life”, Andrea’s essential & romantic worlds, and the line ‘Changed my name to “Promise you, Yea”’; when put all together make convincing needless & conviction undeniable. Big thanks to Andrea Arnold for letting us in so close to her visionary universe. She’ll be remembered how we remember Bacon or Goya.”

"Bug" resonates with long-time fans and new listeners, as it encapsulates the band's signature style while pushing creative boundaries. The rough-around-the-edges imagery in the video complements the intensity of the track, creating a multi-sensory experience that is both captivating and unsettling. As Fontaines, D.C., continues to carve out its niche in the contemporary music scene, "Bug" is a testament to its artistic growth and commitment to authenticity.

With this release, anticipation builds for their upcoming projects, and fans are eager to see how Fontaines, D.C., will continue to evolve and challenge themselves musically.
