Oh, we do so Enjoy a Good Comeback. ALEK FIN’s Wolf.

Well hello there! Been a while. A year was it? Must be. Ah how the days pass…
We at PushNewMusic have always thought tardiness the most devilishly seductive vice. Each turn of the calendar without contact breeds more anticipation, more longing, more desire. There’s a lot to be said for apathy. But this music atrophy has built up too much, and so we return like Lazarus bursting out of blogosphere silence.

To mark this resurrection we bring you ALEK FIN, in all his haunting glory.

It’s not every day that we come across a song so inviting, so engrossing, that we can fall head over heels over head down a rabbit hole of colour and sound. ALEK FIN’s ‘Waiting Like a Wolf’ is one sizeable warren. Its texture is more enticing than a velvet dressing gown, rippling across the  body, raising those prickling hairs on one’s nape. Mr FIN’s warm voice treads  bassy tones across a building wall of sound that wouldn’t be out of place on Kid A. The track rises and falls, peaks and dips in the most delicious way, drawing the ears into its hypnotic rhythm. You can feel yourself falling into a level of audio-consciousness markedly different from the norm. While it is the artificiality of the programmed beats and synthesised ethereal notes that blend with FIN’s true vocals, it is the guitar which really percolates through the undulations and ties the track together.

This is the one track that sticks with us from the newly released Mull EP, yet we hope there is more where this cultured creation came  from. There’s no doubt about it, ALEK FIN has created a higher plane of addictive, self-effacing  sound .
