Fink

Artist Description

Fink’s debut album for Ninja Tune, “Biscuits for Breakfast,” marked a seismic shift for the label – shelving samples and turntablism in favour of an acoustic guitar and great songs. The record, distinguished by its squeaking fret boards and disarmingly autobiographical lyrics, caught the attention of audiences worldwide.  After having received the Single of the Week slot from iTunes US, Fink has made special appearances with Nitin Sawhney at the 2007 Electric Proms and throughout a 6-night sold-out run at London’s Jazz Café last December. While the lyrics on Fink’s follow-up album, “Distance and Time,” retain his trademark tension and honest lines of observation, the record feels more sophisticated and somewhat larger than the last, book-ended by the strung out, softly spoken anger of “Trouble is What You’re In” and the grunting power chords of “Little Blue Mailbox.” Fink feels that was a direct result of this experience on the road.
