Aaaaahhhh - IIUII album release day - a beautiful thing - today marks a landmark for Fink it is the day we join the pantheon of “best of” bands 😉 only ours has a kinda twist as we don't really have a raft of hit singles to bundle together!! - we re-recorded the “best of” from the first ten years of Fink - fan faves, live faves, band faves - before lockdown and right after I had returned the USA tour… They’re not better - they’re just different y’know (oh - and we also wrote a book that kinda accompanies the record out mid September).
“It Isn’t Until It Is” has been a true labour of love and is available in various labour of love formats - vinyl, cd, stream, DL, book, audiobook and even a steady flow of podcasts we’ll be rolling out over the next few months where we natter about the evolution and creation myth of a struggling UK indie band chapter by chapter…
But for now - to kinda help introduce the whole concept of re-recording with a bunch of life experience under our belts - is the IIUII version of “Walking In The Sun”.
Just before the lockdown last year Guy, Tim, and I went into our remote studios to revisit our most beloved Fink tracks, re-shaping and re-imagining them to create the collection that is IIUII (It Isn’t Until It Is). This newly recorded retrospective is being released on August 20 and will be accompanied by a 58-date trio acoustic tour across Europe in the Spring of 2022.
The first drop today from IIUII is Warm Shadow (IIUII)

Out Now - the Horizontalism Session of the Bloom Innocent record is Out Today... seeing this wonderful record through a different lense was such a pleasure - and now it's finally out there - with really intense artwork from the amazing artist Samira Hodaie - thanks to all the musicians who came with us on this journey, and massive love and respect to Flood for making every moment of this record shine...
It's kinda amazing how two little words can sum up the emotional journey of making an album - but here we are again - with those two little words that change everything... OUT NOW... fink.lnk.to/bloomAP
We release the first single from the new record today - We Watch The Stars was the first track we recorded - and set us up for what this record has become really - so it's only fitting it should be the first to be released into the wild... it's a sonic journey... fink.lnk.to/stars
Travelling all over the place on tour means a LOT of digging in old record shops for me - it's one of the things I love to do to pass the time - and I often find real gems in dusty corners and mouldy boxes... I make little mixtapes when I get home - so I thought I'd share one from the the festival tour we just finished... kinda world, kinda dub, kinda eighties...
