Fontaines D.C. have just released a music video for their new single, “Bug,” which stars Barry Keoghan and is directed by Andrea Arnold. This marks the second music video appearance for the Oscar-nominated Keoghan this year, following his acting role in his girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter’s Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “Please Please Please.” “Bug” is the fifth single to be lifted from Fontaines D.C.’s fourth LP, Romance, which was released back in August via XL Recordings. The music video for the track also includes footage from Arnold’s soon-to-be-released film, Bird, which also stars Franz Rogowski and Fontaines D.C. guitarist, Carlos O’Connell, among others. The video has been referred to as a “short form reimagination” of Bird, with O’Connell praising the end result of their artistic collaboration. “Big thanks to Andrea Arnold for letting us in so close to her visionary universe,” he says. “She’ll be remembered how we remember Bacon or Goya.” (Billboard)
