Fink - The LowSwing Sessions

On April 2023 the famous and critically acclaimed UK singer, Fink went with LowSwing Records Producer, Guy Sternberg to the studio and record what later will be “The LowSwing Sessions”

As Fink Later wrote: “The Session was the catalyst of musical desire...a few days in a real recording studio with some friends, stellar sessionistas, and nothing to think about apart from singing and playing.”

The “Stellar” musicians Fink talks about are some of the best musicians out there: Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie's bass player on Black Star), Drummer Earl Harvin (Seal, Jeff Beck), Thomas Moked Blum (Patricia Kaas), Haggai Cohen-Milo and Doron Segal.

In the 2 days session Fink and the band put down to tape some of Fink's favorite tracks from Bowie and The Smiths, some of Guy's all-time choices from Soundgarden and Little Feat and a couple of Fink's own classic cuts. The Album was record and mixed at one of Berlin's oldest studios Tritonus were Nick Cave, Erasure, Element of Crime and many other made their records. The recording was done on 2-inch 24-track Studer A827 and was mixed down to a Studer A80 ½-inch machine at 30ips.
