Resurgam (Double LP)

Resurgam is the hotly-anticipated sixth studio album from Fink (Fin Greenall, Tim Thornton and Guy Whittaker). Recorded with ground-breaking producer Flood (Foals, PJ Harvey, The Killers, U2 and Warpaint) at his Assault & Battery studios in North London.

Greenall has never been afraid to take Fink in new directions sonically and Resurgam continues an acclaimed and distinctly adventurous catalogue, from the sample-splicing debut Fresh Produce (2000) through to the beautifully heady expressions of their last album Hard Believer (2014).

A heavy, resonant bass underpins the production throughout and a range of new elements are also added to the Fink mix, from Flood's own vintage analogue synths, to sax (Martin Slattery) layered into the vivid atmospheres and skittering beats of This Isn't A Mistake. The rhythm guitar hook of Godhead brings out a West African influence, and lends a mesmerising backdrop to Greenall's rousing vocals. Resurgam is a bold new chapter; it is also unforgettably Fink: whole-hearted, soulful, irrepressible.

Greenall has also earned global props as a film music composer, songwriting collaborator (including works with John Legend and Amy Winehouse) and solo innovator, with recent side-projects spanning the electronic Horizontalism (2015) to this year's Fink's Sunday Night Blues Club Volume One. Resurgam (meaning "I shall rise again") derives its title from a Latin inscription in a 900-year-old church in frontman Fin Greenall's native Cornwall.
