February 11th marks the release of Lucklaster the debut album from The Finks, an indie folk collective curated by Oliver Metitz.
Following on from EPs Things Work Out (2012) and At The Royal Witherspoon (2013), Lucklaster was written over three years and came together as a whole LP during a 10 month period.
Quiet and candid, the album was recorded in Metitz’s Sydney Road apartment, it contains “the sound of cars, trams, trucks, taps, toilets, doors, venetian blinds, a crow and a dog” as well as 12 of the most stunning, heartfelt, stripped back folk songs you’ll hear this year. You can listen to the entire thing below.
Lucklaster is out this Wednesday via Milk! Records (home of East Brunswick All Girls Choir, Jen Cloher, and Courtney Barnett). The Finks will be launching the album at the Yarra Hotel in Abbotsford on Friday the 27th of February with special guest Emma Russack, for more info visit the Milk! Records Facebook page.
