Fink
Biscuits for Breakfast

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to a true musical chameleon.

Former Ninja Tune purveyor of all things beat-laden has been resurrected as the labels first guitar-totting singer-songwriter. For those familiar with the labels out-put this sounds like an intriguing prospect, but nothing could prepare them for the pure brilliance of Fink’s new record.

After the critical plaudits showered on the album’s first two singles ‘Pretty Little Thing’ and ‘So Long’, Fink is getting the critics hot under the collar with full-length perfection.

Lyrically this is concerned with Fink’s own personal preoccupations, as he handles familiar subjects with an attention to detail which shows his calibre as a song-writer.

Musically it’s perfectly executed taking the classic sounds of acoustic story-tellers, making recognisible sounds but making them fresh for 2006.

His guitar journeys are fused with soul, folk, blues and dub whilst taking in the trip-hop beats and ambience he so successfully peddled in his previous musical incarnation.

Sexy, confident and classy Biscuits for Breakfast stands up to other down-tempo classics like Blue Lines and Dummy with Fink underpinning acoustic music with a real smooth groove.

As albums go this is near perfect and deserves to be an integral part of peoples lives very soon.
