Fontaines D.C.&#8217;s cover is faithful to O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s original, and Grian Chatten really summons gravitas for his calm, plainspoken lead vocal. The band builds on the song by building to a cathartic fuzz-noise crescendo, with stately strings swirling all around them. We just posted Olivia Rodrigo&#8217;s version of the Magnetic Fields&#8217; &#8220;<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2491462\/olivia-rodrigo-the-book-of-love-the-magnetic-fields-cover\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Book Of Love,<\/a>&#8221; which is excellent. But Fontaines&#8217; version of &#8220;Black Boys On Mopeds&#8221; might still be the biggest gut-punch on that compilation.
