Finneyerkes was actually born out of two tracks on Randy Yerkes' debut solo release, Glada. While the majority of the samples used on that album came from movies, two tracks ("Blues" and "Empire Of Ruin") instead featured the voice of Matt Finney. Randy met Matt, an unlikely poet, in Alabama when he moved away from the rest of Talent Sold Separately in 2005. The two did not create any music together while they both lived in the same place, but Randy developed an affinity for Matt's writing which led to his involvement with Moose Jaw a few years later.
Musically, finneyerkes tends towards the mellower tones that Randy has to offer, building an appropriate soundscape for Matt's reflective, melancholic free verse. The music provides the room for the words to bounce around within before becoming unheard again. finneyerkes has been extremely productive since their formation in 2009, releasing two albums and a video single through Talent Sold Separately as well as an additional album through dotContemporary, and they show no signs of stopping anytime soon.
