On "Sort of Revolution" 2009:

“Mean moody and magnificent. One of the most original singer-songwriters around.” Clash

"...say hello to your new soundtrack." NME

“Captivating." Q

“Surprises when you least expect it. Sort of Revolution refuses to succumb to the obvious.” Mojo

“Smoulders with a slow, intense heat.” Metro

"Quietly captivating." Uncut

"Incredible talent on the cusp of globe straddling success." Swell

“An idea laden, sublime study in the art of pleasing yourself without drowning in indulgence." BBC Music



On "Distance and Time" and "Biscuits for Breakfast":

"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." Amazon.com

"Fink has demonstrated clarity of vision, stemming from steady maturity and the wisdom that comes with it. He’s found his way, and his determination to show us how to get there makes this the most perfect and remarkable addition to his catalogue yet. Realized potential in action.” Popmatters.com

"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)

"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)

"Thankfully, into a world of navel-gazing wet-holes there comes Fink (a man and his band) who serves up taut, shimmering dark acoustica that trembles with emotion that gives the blue-eyed soul of others a blackened bruise and revels in the damage." Music OMH.com

“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

"A set of deeply personal songs full of simmering tension. He’ll go the distance." Metro

"Contemplatif et élégant, du folk pour aimer l'automne...doux comme du cashmere." Les Inrocks (France)

"Mélancolique, chaleureux...'Distance & Time' marque l'empreinte d'un chanteur compositeur qui a peut-être sa voie loin des platines." A Nous Paris (France)

"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)

Hey there champion,

Great little thing you did on Dutch TV! Too bad you couldn't catch up with Nath! Did you get flown over just for that!? And I guess it was without the guys because Guy would've texted me I'm sure (heehee)

Take care and keep on rocking the beard ;-)
