You’re rising through the ranks and then you sit down with a guitar and start making Indie music, releasing three albums of it since 2006. It’s not the usual route for the average musician, but for Fin Greenall, aka Fink, it’s worked pretty nicely.

Bands rarely start the next album properly before bringing out the current one. Danger Mouse, however, has allowed this Rome project to slowly gestate for five full years, tweaking, perfecting, messing around with the songs, the instrumentalism, the order, everything about it, and you know what? It’s bloody fantastic.
