Fink - Sort of Revolution
-
Artist:
I don't know much about this guy. I read a couple of good reviews so I got the Cd and discovered that I really enjoyed it. It reminds me a bit of Tindersticks, really understated but with a melody that softly and deftly works its way into your brain. Nice stuff.
Here's a review from NME:
Like a gap-year student dreamily backpacking his way around Europe with nothing but an acoustic guitar, Fin Greenall aka Fink is so laid-back he's practically horizontal. The opening title track on his third album seems to be setting the stage for 45 minutes of folktronica, but Fink is capable of delivering much more. Blessed with a rich, buttery voice, he croons hypnotically about the bright lights of New York on 'See It All' and is backed by a gospel choir as stress-free as he is on 'Walking In The Sun'. The stripped-down soul vibe continues on 'Move On Me' (with pal John Legend on piano), and with 'If I Had A Million' he morphs into a funky John Martyn. Downbeat dinner parties, say hello to your new soundtrack.

Ever since "This is the Thng" stuck in my brain, I feel like I should like to listen to more Fink. But, like a vague and glorious dream, it all seems to slip away when the music fades. Thank goodness for people like you to remind me of what I need to remember...
I should've known that you'd already be familiar with this one. Now I'll have to check out "This is the Thing". Thanks :-)
it's up there on the right, Bartleby's "Priceless?" post.
