Fionn returns with a whimsical new single, “Picnic on the Moon”
Fionn, the Vancouver-based pop duo featuring Brianne and Alanna Finn-Morris are stepping into the next era of their career. They have unveiled their dreamy new track, “Picnic on the Moon” via 604 Records.
Exploring their style over previous records and trying to find their distinctive pop sound, the duo has gone back to their singer-songwriter roots. Creating an authentic folk-pop sound takes the best of both their folk background in story-telling and their pop-forward songwriting/production style.
Spending the early parts of their career looking for 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.
“As the months went by, I slowly started to surrender and appreciate the little things that brought me joy on the daily. I give a lot of credit to the kids as they helped me to see the mundane from a childlike and exciting point of view.
At the same time I was falling deeply in love with my partner of three years, the isolation brought us much closer together – we made our own fun, almost building our own world together. What really tied the song together was one of the imaginative children I was working with. Every day he would point at the sky and ask if we could go have a ‘Picnic On the Moon’. The phrase stuck with me as it brought such a beautiful image to my mind.”
