Fontaines D.c. 'Desire' by Aube Perrie

Promonews - 1st Sept 2025

Having directed the first video in the Romance album campaign for Starburster, Aube Perrie reunites with Fontaines D.C, to close it.

We once again encounter the figure in the green tracksuit — a persistent double of Grian Chatten — first seen in Starburster sneaking his way into various shoots. This time, he heads to a Fontaines D.C. concert to watch the band play, determined to slip into the backstage area.

The video unfolds as a kind of pursuit: Aube Perrie himself features in the video, setting up an array of cameras — GoPros, handhelds, unexpected angles — like a network of surveillance designed to catch this elusive gatecrasher in the act. His intrusion turns into a filmed game of hide-and-seek, veering between fleeting appearances and a face-to-face with the singer himself.

Visually, the aesthetic is deliberately grainy, evoking analogue textures and the rough edges of 1990s video formats. This raw quality, combined with the energy of the live show and glimpses of the band on tour in legendary venues, creates a hybrid form: part candid documentary, part playful fiction.
