    Deceptively expansive, Fink’s tricksy Hard Believer is essential listening.

    The songs are best when they say the least, implying depths that are, perhaps, mostly in the listener’s head.

    There is a widening sense of exploration at work here; the considerable benefit of that aesthetic is clear even when it falls a tad short of the mark.

    Fink runs the folk gamut from A and B quite beautifully. [Aug 2014, p.106]

    While at times lacking in lyrical insight, Fink’s ability to maintain an atmosphere, to build up gentle, soothing bubbles of sound, is largely unmatched.

    Recommended for the drive home from festivals.

    It’s respectable enough but a stronger dose of Fink’s maverick tendencies would be welcome.
