"I am always searching for the next paradigm shift in music, but it takes an album like 'Distance and Time' to remind me that reinvention is possible within a genre." Groundcontrolmag.com (US)
"Fink’s music is as beautiful as it is haunting...one of the few whose music actually will generate attention...unmistakable quality makes Fink’s music irresistible and his message undeniable." Jive (US)
"The English artist's latest album features a tasty break-up track about the one that got away — and took those lazy-morning breakfasts with her.” from Entertainment Weekly’s ‘Must List – Ten Things We Love This Week’ (US)
"Like a Proust madeleine, the thought of an ex’s flapjacks sets off this UK singer/songwriter. Before long he’s crying in his Stella and poring over old love letters." Spin (US)
"John Martyn for the 21st Century....a beguiling album." The Sun (UK)
"His strength lies in the subtle uncomplicated honesty of the guitar, the voice, and the song. Fink has managed to hone and master all three." DJ Magazine (UK)

“The tension brewed up by the simple ingredients of acoustic guitar, drums and bass is dizzying and is the perfect foil to Fink’s droll delivery as they weave a hypnotic, captivating spell.” Clash (UK)
"...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." Word (UK)
"A set of deeply personal songs full of simmering tension. He’ll go the distance." Metro (UK)

"Using element of folk, blues, soul dance and dub, 'Distance and Time' is great simply due to its warm, tight playing, with believability…. an album that should please everyone from fans of Massive Attack, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake and our own Nick Cave.” Drum Media (Australia)
"Vanaf 28 oktober worden de dagen korter. Stop dan Fink in je cd speler. Lichter zullen de dagen er niet op worden. Wel mooier." Nieuwe Revu (Holland)
"Dit is verplichte kost voor iedereen...” DJ Broadcast (Holland)
