Fink – Sort of Revolution and This is the Thing

I first heard This is the Thing by UK artist Fink a year or so ago. Its a very chill tune. You keep waiting for the intensity of the song to kick up and it comes close, but never completely does. But in the end you are left with a pleasant ringing in your ear. Sort of Revolution keeps up with the chill vibe but introduces some electronic noise which I think makes the song more interesting.

Fink was born in Cornwall and grew up in Bristol. Fink’s household was a musical one as his father was a folk musician and his mother was a music manager. As a teen and during his career’s early years, Fink listened to house, acid jazz, Orbital and The Orb, which he described as a generational thing. He earned his degree in History and English in Leeds and signed with Kikin’ Records, as EVA, shortly thereafter. Fink’s musical background began with remixes, DJ sets and electronic hip hop. He also worked as a club promoter in London.[
