Best of 2007, and 2008,
This review is from: Biscuits for Breakfast (Audio CD)
I'm a music lover of sorts - with a wide variety of tastes. I've followed Ninja Tune off and on for >10 years. I tend to go for more mainstream electronica and as such mostly end up browsing but not buying from Ninja. On the other hand, I also completely dig artists like Mark Hollis.Fink was a COMPLETE surprise. I never expected Ninja to release something like this. I had heard Fink's (unimpressive) first album and, to use a worn phrase, was blown away when I heard the new album. The way to describe this record is to talk about utter honesty, simplicity, and balance. I tend to listen to lyrics, and the way Fink writes, and especially how he translates the stories into emotion in his voice is just top-notch. In terms of expression, it reminds me of Sting & "They Dance Alone" or "Fragile", but with an extra dose of honesty and believability. The string arrangements and guitar work in general are beautiful - nothing fancy, but they "support the plot" perfectly. Again I'm reminded of Mark Hollis and his focus on expression through details. If Hollis wasn't so "Indie" with his approach to music, this may be what he would sound like, too. Which is actually praise for Fink.

Fink - Biscuits For Breakfast,
This review is from: Biscuits for Breakfast (Audio CD)
Talk about a departure: in the six years since Fink's debut, he's gone acoustic. _Biscuits for Breakfast_ has none of the sampledelic collages of _Fresh Produce_; instead, it's Fink, front and center, with an acoustic guitar and various electronic accompaniments. But Fink is capable enough to deliver soul with nothing more than a few strums and his voice. "Pills in My Pockets" takes on reliably modern Glastonbury Festival with a strangely folksy tune. When Tina Grace takes the vocals for "Hush Now," it goes straight into Delta blues. But "Biscuits" conjures a moodier corporate atmosphere, while "So Long" winds its way by your side and takes a long drink. While this might be the Fink you expected, it's plenty nutritious to last the whole day through.

Not quite as good as Distance and Time or Sort of Revolution, but decent on it's own. If you're die hard Fink fan, you will enjoy this.
