Premiere: Philco Fiction – “Horizon”.

September 30, 2011, 1 comments

As many other talents within the Norwegian music scene, Philco Fiction too found their light of day through the community and streaming site of newly established (indie) acts, Urørt.no. It was here I heard Turid Solberg’s voice for the first time a little over a year ago — a darker, Lykke Li-esque Philco Fiction, the kind of Philco Fiction that we got to know through their mini-album Give Us To The Lions that was released April 15th 2010.

One and a half year after the debut, the Oslo based trio are ready to drop their first full-lenght entitled Take It Personal, a record which in many ways continues on the same path as Give Us To The Lions. In addition to beautiful ballads such as “Finally” and “Portrait Of Silence” (which are perfect hideouts when the cold, Scandinavian winter darkness sneak in), Take It Personal unfolds a way more playful and poppy sound than ever before and is, if I dare to say, probably one of the most exciting names in pop that Norway has to offer this year.

The album will be available for streaming via our pals at The Line Of Best Fit on October 7th, while the official album release is set to October 14th on Brilliance Records. Also, head over to Soundcloud to listen to a few other tracks, including their splendid first single “Help!” which dropped back in May.
