Fontaines D.C. Mini Concert

In a departure from their previous sound, Fontaines D.C.’s fourth album, Romance, sees the Irish post-punk band incorporating unlikely influences, such as new wave music and anime, all the while maintaining the band’s edgy, rebellious identity. On the World Cafe, Fontaines D.C. performs a mini concert of songs from all four of their albums, recorded live in Philadelphia.

Listen to the session here.
