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

    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.

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

    Getting lost in the measured melancholy of Hard Believer doesn’t take much effort at all. And that’s the point--a point made repeatedly throughout the set. Just lie back and let Fink do all the work here.

    Hard Believer has a simmering urgency, but though the album seems like it's always building to something, when it ends, you can feel how far it has come.

    The songs with the most character are bunched up together, frontloading Hard Believer.
