Irish celebs FONTAINES D.C. released
their stellar 4th LP Romance.
And, of course, the album gets his deluxe edition.
Except for fanatic fans, I wonder who buys deluxe
editions?
It features their standalone single It’s Amazing To Be Young, which came
out last February and a new moody one, titled BEFORE YOU JUST FORGET
“‘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.”
