A 9 track single () — released January 1st 1970 on NINJA TUNE

If "Biscuits for Breakfast," Fink's debut album for Ninja Tune, traded, at least in part, on a seismic musical shift for both artist and label, then "Distance and Time" raises the game for both parties. This latest album is the result of a frenetic live schedule over the past year - Fink, together with bassist Guy Whittaker and drummer Tim Thornton, having played dozens of festivals, over a hundred shows, and even a Zero 7 support tour. On this record Fink handed over production to Lamb's Andy Barlow, and the resultant album is noticeably bigger, and more sophisticated, than its predecessor. "There are no samples, and we've kept the electronic trickery to a minimum on this record," explains Fink. "I think that the songs have enough gravitas and emotional punch to get through without all of that, and I was very conscious of not being a touchy-feely photocopy of someone from the seventies or whatever. Our experience on the road has been that most Fink fans aren't the same people who are into James Morrison or Paulo Nutini. Maybe that's a Ninja Tune thing, or it's in the songs - but it seems I'm the guitar-based artist you're allowed to like if you don't like most of the other stuff out there...."
