Indie rock / post punk band Fontaines D.C. have shared the music video for ‘Bug’ from their latest new album ‘Romance’. It was directed by Academy-Award winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank, Cow), stars Academy-Award nominee Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn), and is comprised of footage from the new film ‘Bird’, which also stars Fontaines D.C.’s Carlos O’Connell.
“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’”, says Carlos. “‘Bug’ is 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.”
