FYNCH
Bookies’ Pens & Loose Ends
(Burner Records)
Burner Recs’ take on Irish hip-hop’s structure of collectivisation and DIY grind in a post-Soft Boy environment can be most closely compared to the difference between disco and the post-popularity turns that oeuvre took.
Taking hazy lo-fi sensibilities and peeling them back to the absolute elements, drone-tone wordsmith FYNCH enters his element with Bookies’ Pens and Loose Ends, especially on the likes of Like Me, a heavy drag through the anxieties of Generation Y, both for its future and within the second spaces we’ve made for ourselves.
