Product Description

CD Description

Though somewhat inextricable from his status as the singer and main songwriter in alt-rock heroes The Pixies, Black Francis (also known as Frank Black) has created a reasonable reputation for his cerebral pop-rock. 'Svn Fngrs', a mini album, takes its title from the Irish legend of C chulainn, who was believed to have seven fingers and toes. The musical territory covered is typically dark and frenetic, with the dirty blues of 'I Sent Away' and the brooding storytelling of the title track. Black's trademark preoccupations with sciencefiction are sidelined for this more mythical context, but his fascination with the more brutal side of life remains at the forefront.

5.0 out of 5 stars return to form, 29 Mar 2008
frank blacks post pixies releases have been a little hit and miss, but this is a quality mini album with several possible future classic FB tracks.

"The Sues" - a bonkers little verse riff and crackers vocal morphing into a delicate chorus... good track

"Garbage Heap" - yes the track that could have been from the bossanova sessions. it's a good track

"Half Man" - got that early frank black solo albums feel to it. good track

"I Sent Away" - urgent little punky track.. weakest track on the album in my opinion even with the harmonica solo!

"Seven Fingers" - a little bit of upbeat country but with the usual frank black touch of class. great little song and one of the 2 best tracks on the album

"The Tale of Lonsome Fetter" - good little track this. nice descending riff. sets up nicely...

"When they come to murder me" is a purely awesome song and the best track on here. great verse and strong chorus. this is the sort of simple feeling track that encourages you to write songs yourself, but then breaks your heart when you realise that this kind of quality is hard to match...

i would make it clear here that i'm not the biggest fan of frank blacks "country" albums and prefer his noisy stuff... odd then my fav 2 tracks on here are the more country styled ones... anyone. either buy it or get it from emusic if you do that sort of thing. either way a great cd

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING, 1 April 2008
By Jens Christensen "Jens" (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once again, after the glorious return of Black Francis last year, he comes up with another great album.
7 songs and 20 minutes - that's really all it takes for him to leave a huge impression on the listener. As with 2007s Bluefinger, 7 fingers is a coherent collection of songs, and the digital control on the CD player is best left untouched.
However, if I am forced to pick one song, it must be the last one, "When The Come To Murder Me". Fantastic melody and great lyrics.
Buy this album now and be amazed!

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!!, 27 Mar 2008
By Ms. R. K. Padam (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Absolutely beautiful, rocks like no other album this year, alternately poignant, melodic and kick ass,
Part Pere Ubu, part Beefheart, all Black Francis. ALL KILLER NO FILLER!
Although only 7 tracks, it's better than anything i've heard this year, literally sublime.
