Bloom Innocent (Deluxe Sleeve White Coloured LP)

Over the course of almost 20 years as a recording artist, Berlin-based musician Fink has plotted an eclectic and unconventional route through his hugely successful music career. He has produced, recorded and written for various multi-platinum selling artists (Amy Winehouse, John Legend); has been imaginatively remixed by the likes of Justin Vernon and Ricardo Villalobos; and has had his music used extensively in films and TV programs.

Bloom Innocent is the gravity defying sound of a man on a mission: to excite himself, to escape expectations, to thrust clear of all his previous achievements. It's a spacious, capacious, eight-track wonder glowing with delicate piano, ear tingling guitar and Fink's soulful vocal. The album was largely recorded in Fink's home studio in Berlin with an ally available to him back in London: Flood, one of the world's all-time greatest record producers.

"The sonics have been lost a little bit these days," he muses. "Think of the great Pink Floyd records or classic Radiohead records. I yearn for that time, for that attention to detail, for that sonic landscape. It's about creating an atmosphere."

Fink is a vocal supporter of the UK-based music industry initiative Music Declares Emergency, and R'COUP'D, in conjunction with Ninja Tune, is taking steps to make his releases ecologically sustainable.

Bloom Innocent feels like a classic album from the future.
