In other news, Fontaines D.C also shared the music video from their latest single, ‘Bug’, which features Irish actor Barry Keoghan.
The video itself was also directed by Oscar winner Andrea Arnold, featuring exclusive, unseen footage from Arnold’s upcoming movie, Bird.
On this, Arnold also had this to say, “Some music just sits in your bones like it always belonged, like you know it already, like it’s part of you. It’s why I asked to use ‘Too Real’ and ‘A Hero’s Death’ for my Bird film. Their music felt like it belonged there. In my world. They were immediately generous in letting me use those tracks which was just f****** brilliant. That generosity brought energy which gets poured into the life of the film”.
