Fontaines D.C. have released the official music video for ‘Bug’.

The track is taken their acclaimed fourth album ‘ROMANCE’ and the video directed by celebrated Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank, Cow).

The stunning video is a shortform reimagination of Arnold’s forthcoming film ‘Bird’ and includes unseen footage of the movie, starring Barry Keoghan as well as the band’s own Carlos O’Connell.

O’Connell commented, “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.”
