“Bug” stillMusicNewsWatch Barry Keoghan in Fontaines D.C.’s universe-bending new videoThe actor appears in the band’s new video ‘Bug’, which is composed of shots from Andrea Arnold’s upcoming film BirdShareLink copied ✔️November 5, 2024MusicNewsTextSolomon Pace-McCarrick Continuing a reality-blending theme in their visuals, the latest Fontaines D.C. music video for “Bug” comprises scenes stitched together from Andrea Arnold’s upcoming film Bird, featuring lead actor Barry Keoghan. The film, released Friday (November 8), features music by Fontaines D.C. and centres on single dad Bug (played by Keoghan) and his 12-year-old daughter Bailey’s (Nykiya Adams) chaotic lives in a squat in Gravesend, North Kent. Bug and Bailey’s home life takes centre stage in the “Bug” music video, which centres on their dilapidated apartment filled with rubbish and graffiti. The film also features actor Franz Rogowski, who plays the eponymous Bird, as he meets the young Bailey at a critical point in her adolescence. The music video is lifted from Fontaines D.C.’s latest album Romance, released on 17 April 2024. Paying homage to director Arnold in a post on Instagram last night (November 4), the Irish post-punk band wrote: “Andrea Arnold was kind enough to cut up a sequence to our tune Bug featuring @keoghan92 playing the character Bug in her latest movie Bird… Big thanks to Andrea Arnold for letting us in so close to her visionary universe. She’ll be remembered how we remember Bacon or Goya.” Fontaines D.C. have also previously collaborated with award-winning director Aube Perrie in a cinematic multiverse that saw lead vocalist Grian Chatten appearing in videos for Jade Thirlwall, RM of BTS, Salvatore Ganacci and Tommy Cash, and more, all tied together in visuals for the band’s single “Starburster”.
