Who are Philco Fiction? They are Turid Alida Solberg, Bjarne Chr. B.B. Gustavsen, and Andreas Lønmo Knudsrød from Oslo in Norway. And THIS is their very good new single ‘June 17’.
What does Scandipop say? What starts off as a chilled out and laidback summer jam turns into a brassy and bombastic pop track, just in time for – what else – the chorus! Special mention goes to the lush middle eight, and actually everything that follows too.
What does Philco Fiction say? “June 17 2012 – Bad weather. Preaching ‘This is not the summer of 92’ on a piece of paper. I soon find myself watching full length 90s rave parties, drowning in deep house, googling ’THE summer of 92’. Yes, bad weather makes me wanna go back in time. And the early 90s is where I wanna go. To me, it’s bright, big and beautiful. The music, the preachers, the wars, the vibrations, the illusions, the summers were different. I try to remember one single rainy day from my childhood, but I just can’t. Summer never cheated on the 90s, I promise. Like I would ever lie about such things as the weather.”
More from Philco Fiction? They returned earlier this year after a long hiatus with the also very good ‘Bodies’.
