I put the "ish" on there because Fontaines D.C. have had a least their current album out for half a year or so.
I know zilch about them, so I don't know if this their debut or not, but their song "Starburster" has been playing for a while now. ....but I'm not going with that song. It's ok, but......just ok.
I settled on "In the Modern World". I'm really liking the song. It has a total late 80's vibe.
And I can't say this more clearly: the song. NOT the adjoining video.
I get my conveyance of music here is via video, and it's easy to get caught up in said video. I don't necessarily think this video enhances the music, quite the opposite.
I read the YouTube comments and apparently the guy in the video is some actor.....blah blah blah. Never heard of him, but that's not unusual. Actually, 90% of the comments reference the actor and not the music.
The words 'tae kwon do' appear too. I thought it was just rough sex in a car. I still think I'm right.
But if you're interested in the music, I suggest, hitting play and listening and not watching. Except in the official video there are starts and stops with dialogue in between. Art? maybe but it 100% takes away from the song.
Of course, now that I wrote that, I'm sure you'll be watching. But I added an audio only 'video' after the official one.
