Fink - Little Blue Mailbox

The track that most embodies the sonic and compositional evolution since Fink's critically acclaimed debut ‘Biscuits For Breakfast’, ‘Little Blue Mailbox’ is a fantastic showcase for the sophistication and integrity which is woven into every note on the new album. But it's the sheer intensity and drama of the song’s conclusion, which takes it way beyond the work of softer-spoken singer songwriters.  Flip over and Fink offers up another golden nugget from the album – ‘Blueberry Pancakes’ is an effectively rocked-up and rugged tale of boy-meets-waitress, boy-sleeps-with-waitress, boy-has-long-term-relationship-with-waitress, it-all-goes-wrong.
The package is rounded out by a truly unexpected version of Kraftwerk’s ‘The Model’, here re-imagined as a dub-folk relationship trauma of surprising warmth and beauty.
