Fink - The "It Isn't Until It Is" Podcast Fink

We hate to be reminded of it... but sometimes we have to talk about it. Fin, Tim and Guy reflect on how music life and the music world might have changed - or not - since that strangest of reset buttons, the Covid pandemic.

For Episode 3 we delve into the Fink demo archives to investigate what happens when a beloved demo of a new song is recorded for real... why sometimes it's a success and sometimes not, and why certain producers don't believe that a "demo" even exists.

Episode 2 sees the Fink chaps consider that most powerful of artist tools... the ability to say NO to things. Listen as Fin, Guy and Tim weigh up the right times to employ the NO bomb, and the times to compromise, including discussions of outstanding examples of the form by such luminaries as Kate Bush, Radiohead and Ben Howard.

To reissue, or not to reissue, that is the question - and indeed, is the first question discussed by Fink in their new podcast season. For what reasons will an act reissue one of their albums, and are they good enough reasons? Why will bands sometimes resist the temptation? Which classic 2010s album are Fink themselves going to offer another bite of the cherry to? And what exactly is a reissue anyway? Find out here.
