After last year's success it returns to Italy Fink, a British musician and popular indie singer-songwriter, to present his new album Resurgam released on 15 September. Live dates are set for Wednesday 1 November at the Circolo Magnolia in Segrate (MI) and Thursday 2 November at the Quirinetta in Rome. The performances will be a live event not to be missed, preceded by the screening of MIXTISQUE: a special film realisation, a collage of documentary footage, musical inspirations and clips made by the band itself. Tickets for Fink's concerts are available on the official circuit TicketoneBe wary of unofficial sales channels.
Fink, pseudonym of Fin Greenall, debuted as a DJ with the album 'Fresh Produce' (Ninja Tune, 2000), which was quite successful in the electronic world and allowed him to make a name for himself as a producer for Martin Taylor, Michael Pitt, Robert Belfour and a very young Amy Winehouse. As the years went by, however, Greenall renounced dance and turned to more traditional music: he joined Tim Thornton and Guy Whittaker, 'surrendering' his stage name to the band that in 2006 released "Biscuits For Breakfast (Ninja Tune), an album with folk and blues sounds that impressed critics favourably. It is only the first in a series of highly appreciated works whose singles over the years have often been used in popular TV shows such as CSI: NY, Dr. House e The Walking Dead. In addition, Greenhall collaborated with John Legend in "Move", a track composed for the soundtrack of the award-winning film 12 Years Slave.
'Hard Believer', released in 2014 on the label founded by Greenall himself in collaboration with Ninja Tune, the UK indie label that has accompanied him since his early dance days, was co-written with bandmates Thornton and Whittaker and reached number 14 in the UK indie rock charts. Resurgam is the sixth studio album by Fink, an artist who has never been afraid to experiment, and this record project sounds more fearless than ever. The lyrics are deliberately minimal, but accompanied by a deep and persuasive funk flow.
