Product Description

Swell
"Distance and Time raises the game. The kind of songs only a man with mushrooming confidence could write."

Word
"...evoking the finger-picking grooves off JJ Cale and John Martyn to create an intimately stoned, sexy swing that sugars the pill of the intense melancholy."

4.0 out of 5 stars I Fink , therefore i am., 1 Nov 2007
By russell clarke "stipesdoppleganger" (halifax, west yorks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Distance and Time (Audio CD)
Surely , by now there are enough plaintive singer songwriters around to fulfil everyone on the planets appetite for dextrous string strumming and moody introspective vocals ? Well there is an overload of this type of performer and lets be brutally frank most of them are so wet they would embarrass a haddock. Former disc spinner and sampler Fink though is a different kettle of fish (pun very much intended there) .He has an engaging smoky fibrous voice, and the music is invested with quavering soul , thrumming tension and as the sleeve notes eloquently state "Jagged -edged sophistication". Aided by the muscular production from Andy Barlow( From the group Lamb)the songs are acoustic based but layers of electronic atmospherics -"Get Your Share", crisp percussion -"Blueberry Pancakes"- or incremental use of dub space and diffuse instrumentation -"Make it Good" lend the album more variety and allows the subtle melodies to percolate into the listeners heads more elegantly . There are the more traditional acoustic songs , like a more intimate and bruised John Martyn - "Under The Same Stars" , "If Only" , "So Many Roads" and the albums high point the stunning closing track "Little Blue Mailbox".
Opening track "Troubles What You're In" has more complex fretwork, like a Spanish folk song and quietly seething backing strings . It's these subtle details and tasty fundamentals that make this such an enjoyable album. Despite its lack of any true killer hooks or grab you by the ears and throw you round the room sonic interludes the whole album deviously charms you till before you know it every track on the album has something that you come to love. A quietly stunning album and one whose insidious charms approximate a kind of sly brilliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Thing!!!, 10 Oct 2007
By Max (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Distance and Time (Audio CD)
A fantastic follow up to Biscuits, Distance and Time is a further exploration and evolution of Fink's sound. An album drenched in harmonies that'll melt butter, and heart wrenching melodies and vocals that come together to produce an album that exceeds all expectations. I've been following Fink closely since first hearing "Fresh Produce", and his third album could possibly well be the one that launches him into the public eyes and ears. A marvellous album that deserves heaps of praise not just to Fin and his band but also to Ninja for persevering with an artist who's sound differs so much from their usual rota.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great lazing about on a Sunday afternoon album, 1 May 2008
By C. McCord (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Distance and Time (Audio CD)
As previously mentioned, there are a million acoustic singer/songwriters out there and it's difficult to stand out in an ocean of mediocrity. However, Fink just manages it due to his catchy acoustic riffs and his "i'm barely putting in any effort" way of singing.

However this album doesn't leap out from the CD player when it is put on. Nice ambient or background music or if you're just lazing about on a Sunday afternoon but not the kind of thing you put on before heading out on the town.

Standout songs are opener "Space and Time" and "Blueberry Pancakes". However, some of the other songs seem to fade into the background (i.e. "Get Your Share"). A nice album but not one that dominates your ears when you put it on.

The boys done good. Such a great start to the album with trouble and this is the thing and is followed by a collection of rather different tunes. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Bare, bold and beautiful
Probably one of those albums they'll soon be calling "the word-of-mouth hit of the year". Which means it can only be good. And it is. Read more
