FINK - THE CITY IS COMING TO ERASE IT ALL - EXCLUSIVE AUSTRALIAN VINYL LP

A record about escape, erosion, and the quiet fight to stay human.

The City Is Coming to Erase It All is Fink’s ninth studio album, following 2024’s Beauty In Your Wake. Recorded in Zennor, Cornwall, the album was made with a strict era-specific approach, imagining a record Michael Chapman might have made, right down to the guitar strings. Grammy-winning producer Sam Okell helped guide the process: “If it didn’t exist in 1974, you’re not allowed to use it.”

But this is nowstalgia, not nostalgia. “I want something new, but with the same ethos,” singer Fin Greenall explains. There’s a parallel between the restless 18-year-olds Fink once were and the autumn-aged family men they are now. Touring remains a compulsion as much as a joy, despite having played every major European city countless times. “The need to play your new material is so overwhelming that it trumps all the comforts and trinkets.”

City is a product of this hunger for discovery, and idolatry of the album as a form – like we had in 1974. City’s cover mirrors its interior, the first song is the greeting, the instrumental closer the conclusion. It’s a story. It’s a record for people who, like its creators, are curious; people who happily face a little cold for music, who light a crackling fire back home, who sit with these songs until they’re ready to chase after their own blue sky.

Fink has long had a special connection with Australia, reigniting it with audiences on his first tour here since 2013, when Fin returned for a solo tour at the end of 2024.

Working directly with Impressed Recordings in Australia thanks to long-standing connections and friendship with founder Luke Bevans, Fink launches a new era exclusively on Impressed.

To start, there’s an exclusive Impressed edition of The City Is Coming to Erase It All. Which reflects that same ethos as the label: tactile, analogue, and made to be held.

The exclusive Impressed edition is pressed on clear vinyl with green splatter. Housed with a numbered obi strip and booklet, this is a release built for listeners who still believe in the album as a form. Only 300 exist.

Pre-order for a June 12th release.
