Fontaines D.C. stopped by BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for a performance on the heels of their new album, Romance, coming out. The Irish band broke out the LP cut “Favourite” and an unlikely cover of “Say Yes to Heaven,” the fan-favorite Lana Del Rey song that she recorded back in 2013 but didn’t released until just last year. Fontaines D.C. singer Grian Chatten delivers on the track’s forlorn melodrama. Watch videos of both performances below.
Though its halfway over, Fontaines D.C.’s massive tour is still ongoing and will keep the Irish lads on the road until this year concludes. They still have a number of U.S. dates left this month before they return to Europe for dozens of additional tour dates. The run ends in December with multiple headlining shows in their hometown of Dublin.
Romance is the fourth studio album from Fontaines D.C., but it’s technically their first for XL Recordings. Last year, they linked up with Massive Attack and Young Fathers for a limited-edition vinyl record to raise money for Doctors Without Borders’ aid in Gaza and the West Bank: the Ceasefire EP.
