“I worked almost exclusively as a solo producer and artist prior to last year, I wanted this project to be a step outside of my comfort zone. By tapping into the collective talent of Molly Rymer, Jess Edie and Jonah Evans, we were able to bring sonic characteristics to the record I never could. Molly’s folk infused vocals, Jess’ timeless R&B lead lines and Jonah’s jazz sensibilities, all allowed me to share influences outside of electronic music. With themes of friendship, love, journey, loss, and confusion, the 9 tracks aim to take the listener on a sonic journey. Ambient beginnings, followed by hypnotic folktronica beats make way for housey RnB, aggressive trip hop and a 4-track decrescendo that might have you reaching for the tissue box. All compositions are true to me, and the body of work can be best described as a ‘producers’ album’. Never sitting on one genre for too long but providing just enough consistency to make this eclectic collection my strongest work to date. I didn’t set out to write an album, but I’m very glad I did.”

Already a creative constant on the live electronica circuit Finlay has put in the effort for a while now and it shows. This vibrant album shapeshifts around pure dancefloor (bringing in house, break-beat and dance rhythms) and powerful, thoughful compositions (taking in experimental, jazz and recorded sounds). It's strength is that although it's an album of differing styles and tempo it all feels very natural and claims it's own, coalescing sound. Fin get's the most out of his collaborating musicians too with some solid team-up's that hold our attention (and the dancefloor) yet still feel part of the whole project. Recommended for sure and check him out live if you get the chance!
