The track is the exciting duo’s first release of 2022.
Canadian pop duo Fionn have made a name for themselves with their fun and often danceable indie pop sound, but have taken a step back into more stripped-back and folk-influenced sound on their latest release ‘Picnic on The Moon’.
There is a really rousing feel to the track, that cathartically bursts into life about halfway through. This makes the track really feel like a track of two halves, transforming from this folk-pop sound into something more forward-thinking and modern. Each of these showcase so much that makes the duo feel so exciting and bursting with potential, from the initial earnest vulnerability to its bouncy indie-pop climax. The track almost feels like a flex, highlighting the different facets to Fionn’s sound and the distinct charms that they have to offer.
After struggling to find their place in the industry, “Picnic On The Moon” was born out of an existential crossroads, “I wrote ‘Picnic on the Moon’ at a strange point in my life. It goes without saying, we all ended up in situations that differed from our expectations back in 2020. For me that meant a full time job in childcare that I had never anticipated for myself as live music and shows became non-existent. I was immensely frustrated with this reality as I had always dreamed my twenties would be filled with touring and traveling. Like many, I fell into periods of intense depression. I believed my dreams were crumbling to dust,” Brianne shared.
