I'm so glad that I did, as the subject of this review needs special mention.</p> <p>Prior to 'Biscuits For Breakfast', Fink was happily carving a path through the world of ambient trip-hop. 'Biscuits' sees Fink strike out in a new direction.</p> <p>Built around his bluesy voice, finger-picking acoustic guitar and the stripped-back live rhythm section, there is a wonderfully intimate smokiness in Fink's approach to his songs. It's intimate, but utterly lacking in sentimentalism.</p> <p>The featured track, "Pretty Little Thing," on which he plays the whole menagerie: bass, guitar (nylon strings, no less), and B-3 Hammond. The lyrics in this cut are not much to be sure, but as a first track Fink's looking to usher in the set's atmosphere, and as such it works beautifully.</p> http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/fink_biscuits_for_breakfast#comments 2006 blues Blues folk Folk indie Indie Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:14:55 -0600 kevster 192 at http://undertheinfluence.me.uk
