Philco Fiction reminisce about the 90s on majestic new single "June 17" [Premiere]
We revelled in Philco Fiction's return in April with the release of the brilliant "Bodies". Now the Norwegian twosome present "June 17".
Speaking about the track, vocalist Turid Alida said: "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."
Anchored by heavy-duty synth and lifted by rapturous harmonies, stream "June 17" below now.
June 17 appears on Philco Fiction's upcoming album, released in October via Killing Moon Records.
