Fink

Fink is the project of London-based singer-songwriter Fin Greenall, who started releasing music around 2002. His 2006 debut album 'Biscuits for Breakfast' established a sound built around slow tempos and introspective lyrics, with songs like 'Warm Shadow' and 'Pretty Little Thing' showing his preference for mood over commercial hooks.

Greenall writes about relationships and the small struggles of daily life in plain language. Tracks like 'Blueberry Pancakes' and 'Yesterday Was Hard On All Of Us' have a conversational quality that feels more like someone thinking out loud than performing. In 2009, his song 'Perfect Darkness' was used in an advertising campaign he didn't endorse, which led to some public disagreement about how the music was being presented.

He kept making records that followed his own pace rather than chasing trends. 'Looking Too Closely' became one of his better-known songs, typical of his style where the arrangements stay sparse and the vocals stay up front. The music doesn't try to fill space or rush toward choruses, which has sometimes drawn criticism for being too quiet, but it's what gives his work its particular character.
