Title:	The Best Low-Priced Heartbreakers You Can Own
Label:	ERASED TAPES (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ERATP 011CD

Finn. is German singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and fashion designer, Patrick Zimmer, who splits his time between Hamburg and London. A conceptualist with the voice of Leonard Cohen on helium, this is his debut U.S. release. The Best Low-Priced Heartbreakers You Can Own shows a surprisingly mature and cohesive collection of haunting and mesmerizing songs as a result from his consequential musical progression. Finn. lived, recorded and produced the album over the course of 7 months in the catacombs of an old 14th century church underneath the streets of St. Pauli. This is an album free of any artificial elements, whose place has been taken by a firework of pompous cymbals, fanfares, strings, trombones and kettle-drums. Based on the idea of a theatrical concept, the underlying classical drama is divided into five acts, which define the constellation of the songs and the structure of the record. However, its content resembles more closely the original form of a Greek tragedy. "I will leave this harbour..." he sings, after he symbolically lets his dead hero ascend to Mount Olympus, and adds: "...but I will carry on." Fragile, dew-drenched sounds -- featuring the high, soft waver of Zimmer's voice -- gently break your heart.

Title:	Expose Yourself To Lower Education
Label:	SUNDAY SERVICE (GERMANY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	SUN 002LP

LP version. "Expose Yourself... comprises one intro and nine fragile worldwide hits that feature an acoustic guitar enchanted by analog shooting stars. Solemn synth strings appear to have strayed here from an old Shellac record, while the beats pulsate gently and almost absently. Above it all hovers an entranced falsetto, celebrating every single breath and forming words into sounds. Finn plays music for a different reality -- his debut album is an ever-merging sea of melodies, a rapture of the deep, a bewitchingly beautiful parallel cosmos. We dive down into an intriguing world suffused with soft twilight -- expose yourself. With its second release (after Künnecke & Smukal) Sunday Service again expands the concept of singer/songwriter, getting closer to heaven yet another little step."
