Philly's Summer Fiction , the new music project from Bill Ricchini, make some light, airy feel good indie-pop, think The Smiths meets the Beach Boys. Make sure to check out the bands latest self-titled album. enjoY! Summer Fiction - Chandeliers
Proven wrong once again, indie pop seems to have snuck up on me. And ironically it's Billy Ricchini's new project Summer Fiction. There seems to be an abundance of music reaching out to the warm summer waves. His new self-released and self-titled album is full of baroque love ballads. The first single "Chandeliers" is completely [...]
Summer Fiction performs 12/1 at Johnny Brenda's Whenever some seriously inclement weather—like, say, a freakish rainstorm—takes over the city, having a lack of worthwhile arts-and-entertainment options later in the evening is usually a good thing. That way, you don't feel so bad about staying in the entire night, drying out your soaked clothes while drinking hot tea and watching re-runs of Law & Order . Unfortunately, there's not one, not two, but three can't miss shows going on tonight, all of which feature amazing local acts. So, Philadelphia: Get ready to get wet—again. At [...]
Yesterday I made a preemptive apology for the brevity of this week's post because I'm feeling a bit under the weather, but today's short post has less to do with me being sick and more to do with the scant little information that Summer Fiction sent me about their music. This is what I do know: Summer Fiction is Bill Ricchini, and Summer Fiction , his self-titled Debut full-length release is available now via his Bandcamp site. First single "Chandeliers" has a gorgeous black-and white video filmed by Kevin Chia, known [...]
Perhaps you noticed it too: the frayed-denim melody, the working-class urgency, the howl. When In Grenada launched into an untitled, organ-led number to open their Key Studio Session last month—having requested Nebraska levels of reverb on top of everything else—I had to ask: Is it possible to be a band from Jersey without some Springsteen influence seeping in? “It is!” responded singer-guitarist Jesse Leyh. “Another couple bands from Jersey that have really influenced me over the years are The Feelies and The Bongos, and neither of those two bands sound anything like Springsteen. I [...]
SUMMER FICTIONLiterally just the first two seconds of this song make me think, BELLE & SEBASTIAN! but just those first two seconds. If you are familiar with Belle & Sebastian I'm sure you will hear it too. If you aren't I've just wasted two sentences of your time. This song is not extremely jovial, but it is light-hearted, and easy-going swing to it with a slight hint of sadness. I mean the song
So, funny story. Well, sort of. I was stalking Twitter, as usual (what the hell else do you do on Twitter?), when I see our good buddy Dave Rawkblog absolutely GUSHING about this random band, Summer Fiction. With the respect I have for Dave's music taste (and more-than-occasional distaste - if you read his site you'll know what I'm talking about) , I checked out Summer Fiction's music and was quite enamored myself. I hadn't really planned on writing a post just yet, as I tried to just listen to the music as a non-music blogger and [...]
See, folks, this is why you don't make your album of the year list in November. Summer Fiction's debut is due this week, and given that dude e-mailed me about it himself, your favorite bloggers have not received promo copies. So forget the rankings for a minute, and open your heart to a sublime set of indie-pop. Summer Fiction, thank God, plays soft, hi-fi songs that could only have come from a bedroom and too many late nights. Like his noisier peers in Bikini, Swimsuit, Tennis, Best Coast, Sand Panda, whatever, Summer Fiction frontman Bill Ricchini is a beach nerd [...]
Maybe we are not as prolific as Bradford Cox but we're back again with your usual Friday treat. It's a nice blend of indie-pop, electronic, fresh R&B, folk, ambient, there's even some slinky harmonic soul on there and it all ends in one of 20102s best electro-pop songs. Providing the soundtrack we have Summer Fiction , Atlas Sound , Soulja Boy , Ricky Eat Acid , James Vincent McMorrow , Minks , Dog Bite , Samsun, Chalices of the Past , Steve Mason , Levek , Gala [...]
Í næstu viku kemur út frumburður sveitarinnar Summer Fiction sem einfaldlega heitir eftir bandinu. Hljómsveitin kemur frá Fíladelfíu í Bandaríkjunum og var stofnuð fyrr á þessu ári, en sveitin er leidd af Bill nokkrum Ricchini sem ku áður hafa gefið út tvær sólóskífur. Summer Fiction spilar létt og grípandi indípopp sem minnir á Belle & Sebastian og skyldar sveitir og ætti að kæta lund á köldum vetrardögum. Streyma má Summer Fiction á bandcamp síðu sveitarinnar. Summer Fiction - Chandeliers Summer [...]
Amidst all the beautiful, dark and twisted that's been reported on this week, Summer Fiction has been a refreshing blast of lightness, proving that not everything has to be so damn serious/political/make a statement. Sometimes the best and most beautiful is also the most simple. "Chandeliers" is a perfect pop song. You can stream Summer [...]
My good buddy Dave just hipped me to the sweet sounds of Summer Fiction. This track is pretty good, but where things really get magical is with the rest of their self titled album out in December. You can stream it all at that link - and I highly recommend that you do. MP3: Summer [...]
Tweet Wow, I love this song and video! It's the lead track "Chandeliers" from Summer Fiction 's new, free single, which is available for download on Bandcamp now. It features 2 really good songs + a demio version of "Chandeliers". My favourite is actually the second song on the single, the cool and laid-back "To come back new". Summer Fiction is the moniker of Bill Ricchini, and his full length album will be released on the 30th November.The video is made by artist Kevin Chia, known for his "The Sun Was [...]
Ci sono mattine in cui la rima "Sahara / Mascara" ti piace, il tocco di un clavicembalo in una canzone pop ti sembra quanto mai appropriato, e un video che ruba immagini in bianco e nero da I pugni in tasca di Bellocchio ti conquista del tutto. Il merito è di Summer Fiction , ultima incarnazione musicale del cantatuore di Philadelphia Bill Ricchini. Il suo nuovo singolo Chandeliers è in free download , mentre si può già ascoltare in streaming tutto l'album omonimo . Suoni garbatamente retrò, tra sfumature più barocche, [...]
Summer Fiction es una banda de Philadelphia que sacó su nuevo sencillo llamado “Chandeliers”. Una rola perfecta para empezar la semana. ♩ Summer Fiction - Chandeliers
Summer Fiction is both everything and nothing you've heard before. We wish more music fell into our inboxes like this. It's Baroque Pop, it's torch songs, it's freewheelin’ Folk, it's reminiscent of the golden days... but most of all it's the roots and sound that's Rock and Roll. It's why Rock and Roll will never die. Every now and then we are graced with a songwriter that can make even the simplest sounds heard before, still well worth hearing. With all of today's media bombardment, I hear these songs and I listen. All I want to do [...]
Today, the inbox brings "Chandeliers," a divine slice of pop from Summer Fiction, the brainchild of singer/songwriter Bill Ricchini. For our Philly followers, Bill & company are slated to play Johnny Brenda's on December 1. Summer Fiction, "Chandeliers"
San Francisco retro-pop outift Summer Fiction has announced that he will be releasing the eponymous album for the project. Summer Fiction is the band of Bill Richini who influences include Beach Boys and the Zombies which are a little bit more than obvious. You can hear it...
Singer-songwriter Bill Ricchini reached out to us about his new band and album called Summer Fiction . Of the album he says that "this one most ties in with my love of late 60s pop - Beach Boys, Zombies Left Banke - but there is a lot of other influences there too from old movie score waltzes to torch songs." The album is being released on November 30th and Bill will have a record release party on December 1st at Johnny Brenda's . [...]
