(1)Fink, Brighton-based acoustic folk / blues / electronic artist
A recording / performance name of Brighton, UK's Fin Greenall - a Bristol-born understated singer-songwriter. He is an uncompromising artist - in acoustic folk / blues / dub - with an astounding stage presence, signed to Ninja Tune Records. With live accompaniment by Guy Whittaker (bass) & Tim Thornton (drums), they have played over 300 shows, in the last three years (inc' supporting Zero 7 & Massive Attack). In addition to his performance history, Fink has written with many (inc' John Legend & Amy Winehouse), plus remixed Elbow, Nina Simone, 坂本龍一 & Robert Belfour. Prior to all of this, Greenall - who grew up in the same city as Roni Size, Portishead & Massive Attack - was a Ninja Tune DJ, spinning trip-hop & breakbeat internationally.
Fink’s 2006 debut Biscuits For Breakfast (recorded entirely in his loft in Brighton) saw him reincarnated to become Ninja Tune’s first singer-songwriter. Such was the impact of this collection of songs on the underground British musical landscape, iDJ Magazine stated: "If 'Blue Lines' was about Generation X's experience of house parties, hip-hop and smoking drugs then this astonishing album is its millennial equivalent."
2007 saw the release of Distance And Time, another critically acclaimed record that saw Fink’s fan base spread around the world. As an incredibly accomplished and versatile vocalist and guitarist he has since performed as a special guest in front of thousands at London's Royal Albert Hall as part of BBC Proms, New York's legendary Carnegie Hall (where he performed a cover of REM’s ‘The Apologist’ in front of the song’s creators), and even Milan's 80,000 capacity San Siro Stadium. It was also Distance And Time that caught the attention of John Legend, with whom Greenall co-wrote ‘Green Light’ featuring Andre 3000 and ‘Set Me Free’ from Legend’s Evolver LP. Legend, in return, makes a guest appearance on piano, and co-wrote two tracks with Greenall on Sort Of A Revolution.
There are very few independent artists who have quietly accomplished such an amazing array of achievements, and judging by this new and impeccable record, it doesn't seem that Fink - many a music fan's best kept secret - will be a secret for too much longer.

The song Sort Of Revolution by Fink is a captivating piece that speaks about the journey of life and the uncertainties that come with it. The song is about the singer who has been waiting for something or someone for a long time but doesn't know where they are going. It's a journey of self-discovery and realization of the fact that sometimes, we have to take a leap of faith and trust that the universe will guide us to where we need to be.
The singer acknowledges that they have come so far and that it feels real. They are in the dark, but this journey has been preparing them for something concrete. Still, there is uncertainty, and the singer needs reassurance that they will get to their destination eventually. The song has an almost ethereal quality to it, with gentle guitar strums and a soothing voice that convey the message of the journey being peaceful yet uncertain.
The line "We'll organize a sort of revolution" is a phrase that encapsulates the central theme of the song – that there is a need for change, but one has to be brave enough to take the first step. The singer realizes that they have been running for too long and that it's time to take charge and organize a revolution. The revolution is more of a mental one, a change of mindset and perspective that will enable the singer to move forward to their destination.

I found this song through Stargate Universe. I didn't even know this group existed until I herd this song. Flogging Molly as well as Mumford and Sons. Thank you SGU for introducing me to such awesome groups.
