London-based Fiction have unveiled the lead track from their upcoming EP, ‘Best Before’.
Opening on wailing feedback and samples of operatic singing, before jumping into their trademark combination of deft guitar lines and perky vocal melodies. Of the track, the band say: “[ it] concentrates on what Simon Reynolds describes as 'pop culture's addiction to its own past': yearning for the rave era of the late 80's and 90's - employing the infamous sample of 'O Eucheri', a centuries-old melody used by The Beloved and Orbital.”
The band's five-track EP, ‘Instant Memories' is out on June 1.
Having received widespread critical acclaim for their debut album 'The Big Other' back in 2013, Fiction have since been holed up in their spiritual home, Dalston's Total Refreshment Centre, to complete work on their much anticipated second album - where they will play an EP launch show on May 28.
