As with the video for “Throw Your Arms Around Me” [which we touted in April], Summer Fiction appropriates a French film for the imagery accompanying the new song “Kids in Catalina.” This time it’s David Hamilton’s dialogue-less “Un été à Saint-Tropez” (1983), as edited by Kevin Chia. The song is off Summer Fiction’s debut, and as Los Angeles waits for June gloom to lift and summer to appear, “Kids in Catalina’s” obvious Beach Boys obeisance seemed like a moment to share.
