About Distance & Time

Product Description This glorious follow-up showcases Fink's sharpened knack for thoughtful songwriting that details fragmented moments full of heartache and hopeful promise, steeped in sonic palettes rich with Dub, Blues, Folk and Acoustic soul. 9 tracks. If Biscuits for Breakfast, Fink's debut album for Ninja Tune, signified a partial seismic musical shift for both artist and label, then Distance and Time realigns both sides of the tectonic plate. Ninja Tune. 2008. Amazon.com Spare and soulful songwriting rules the sophomore album from Brighton, U.K.'s Fink. Nine gravid songs grace this odd release from the usually more electronically inclined Ninja Tune imprint, on which Fink stands out as a decidedly analog, often wholly acoustic, artist. Distance and Time was produced by the great Andy Barlow, formerly of the jungle-pop masters Lamb . Barlow is the Nigel Godrich you've never heard of, an unheralded behind-the-boards genius who here sets aside his own "magic boxes" in favor of a hands-off approach that raises the exposed nerves of Fink's songwriting from campfire intimacy to searing emotional splendor. --Jason Kirk
