Fontaines D.C. have shared their new video for ‘Bug’ featuring the stars from the film Bird including Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, Nykiya Adams and more.Andrea Arnold, director of the forthcoming movie, which is out in UK and US cinemas this Friday (November 8), was also at the helm of the music video, that features unseen footage from the film.Fontaines’ music also features prominently in the movie while the band’s guitarist Carlos O’Connell also makes a cameo in Bird.“I’ve loved Fontaines since I first heard them.

Some music just sits in your bones like it always belonged, like you know it already, like it’s part of you,” said Arnold. “It’s why I asked to use [Fontaines songs] ‘Too Real’ and ‘A Hero’s Death’ for my Bird film.

Their music felt like it belonged there, in my world.”Arnold added: “They were immediately generous in letting me use those tracks which was just fucking brilliant.

That generosity brought energy which gets poured into the life of the film. I am grateful for all the positive energy that comes when you make a film.“Extending the images and my Bird world for the ‘Bug’ track felt like the most natural thing in the world, like part of the same thing.
