Biscuits For Breakfast

About

When presenting <i>Biscuits for Breakfast</i> to his label, Fink was so unsure of his new artistic direction that he guarded himself against criticism by claiming that its smoky blues vocals were the work of a new American he was collaborating with. Indeed, compared to the somewhat straight-ahead trip-hop beatsmithing on his earlier album <i>Fresh Produce</i>, this is driven by acoustic guitar and largely traditional songwriting: a world away from the sound he'd been associated with. <i>Biscuits for Breakfast</i> was no experiment, though; Fink is both exposed and emboldened using his own voice and what would later become a signature style of post-electronica blues. "Pills in My Pocket" may very well be the first "unplugged" song about raver woes, but perhaps it's that particular history that makes Fink so compelling—a boy becoming a man in an artistic culmination that would define the next phase of his life.
