Sep 2, 2014The songs with the most character are bunched up together, frontloading Hard Believer.
-
Jul 31, 2014While at times lacking in lyrical insight, Fink’s ability to maintain an atmosphere, to build up gentle, soothing bubbles of sound, is largely unmatched.
-
Jul 24, 2014Whilst Hard Believer has its moments, this sense of playing it safe permeates throughout the record.
-
Jul 21, 2014There 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.
-
Jul 18, 2014It’s respectable enough but a stronger dose of Fink’s maverick tendencies would be welcome.
-
Jul 16, 2014Recommended for the drive home from festivals.
-
Jul 16, 2014The songs are best when they say the least, implying depths that are, perhaps, mostly in the listener’s head.
-
Jul 15, 2014Getting 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.

Q MagazineJul 14, 2014Fink runs the folk gamut from A and B quite beautifully. [Aug 2014, p.106]
-
Jul 14, 2014Hard 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.
-
Jul 14, 2014Deceptively expansive, Fink’s tricksy Hard Believer is essential listening.
-
Jul 14, 2014Without enough concrete musical or lyrical details to anchor the album's songs, they occasionally become too abstract for their own good.
