So Finch are back after a hefty hiatus which no doubt saw them work menial jobs and realize what they were missing out on having jacked it all in. The band played a couple of explosive sets when in the UK for Give It A Name and seem to ease between the material from each of their vastly different two albums these days where there was a definite separation between the albums in days gone by.
‘Daylight‘ from the band’s new digital EP is the best of both worlds from a band that struggled with a change in identity between their first and second albums. The crucial melody of the song is vital and gripping, whilst a gritty rawness still underlies the sound and permeates Nate’s vocals with an occasional slight gruffness. I would say that this is an admirable return to form but they never really lost their form, just had a bit of a break. It seems that this break has given them a chance to reflect, come back afresh and write some killer new material.
