Fink - The City Coming To Erase It All

Fakta The City Is Coming To Erase It All is the ninth studio album by the English folk/indie trio Fink. Recorded in Cornwall, the album serves as a reflection on escape, erosion, and the struggle to stay human against the pull of urban life and busy careers. Frontman Fin Greenall describes the album as "nowstalgia" rather than nostalgia. It draws a parallel between the restless 18-year-olds the band members once were—escaping suburban life and busking across Europe—and the realities of being "autumn-aged" family men and touring musicians. Inspired by the stripped-back, authentic acoustic traditions of 1970s singer-songwriters (such as Michael Chapman), the album's story arcs perfectly from an initial "greeting" (the opener Wishing For Blue Sky) to an instrumental conclusion.
