Fontaines D.C. continue to turn the guitar music of their past on its head with the artsy, trip-hop-infused 'Starburster,' folding in new influences and taking wilder swings.
The lead single 'Starburster' from Fontaines D.C.'s upcoming album showcases ambition matched by a writhing, anxious tone, originating from a panic attack the frontman experienced.
Despite being intentionally overwhelming, 'Starburster' balances tension with a beautiful, string-backed bridge before the dread creeps back in, pushing the band into unexpected places.
'Starburster' differs from Fontaines D.C.'s early guitar-driven work by using the guitar as an accent, focusing more on percussion and hip-hop-esque production, showcasing their musical evolution.
