Each album goes as far as Doggerel, observing it through the lens of Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The second album (A Hero&#8217;s Death) is about that separation and the third (Skinty Fia) is about displaced Ireland in the diaspora. Now we&#8217;re looking at where to romanticize something else.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning to Katsuhiro \u00d4tomo&#8217;s anime Akira for inspiration, vocalist Grian Chatten says: &#8220;I&#8217;m fascinated by it &#8211; falling in love at the end of the world,&#8221; he says. \u201cThe album is about protecting that little flame. The bigger Armageddon is, the more precious it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guitarist Carlos O&#8217;Connell adds: \u201cThis record is about deciding what fantasy is &#8211; the tangible world or where you go in your mind. What represents more reality? It almost feels spiritual to us. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the songs were written while on tour with Arctic Monkeys last year. You can hear some of that in the first single, \u201cStarburster,\u201d which was inspired by a panic attack Chatton suffered at London&#8217;s St. Pancras station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Romance tracklist :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
