FINKEL
FINKEL
Jane and Brian Spencer of FINKEL seem to arrive from the near future, or perhaps somewhere out there, appearing with a slight shimmer of a dimension adjacent to our own. With an atmosphere treading the periphery of pop, the duo’s tangible vocal presence overlays hypnotic, cinematic pulsations in a combination that teases out details of last night’s otherworldly dreams and tempts the waking state to return to its astral analog. FINKEL aims to inspire creativity and strengthen human connection while deterring the fears and insecurities attached to making art. That’s why they’re creating a docu-series in partnership with Slow Blink where they travel globally to new locations, meet new collaborators, and make music inspired by their adventures together. The vulnerability involved in making art is hugely beneficial for everyone. The more open we are with ourselves, the more understanding we can be of the world around us. As a proof-of-concept, FINKEL hunkered down on the isolated, snow-covered Mackinac Island, nestled in the middle of Lake Huron and wrote, Islanders. The process was filmed by Slow Blink and was released as a feature-length documentary in September of 2022 via Kamikaze Dogfight and Gravitas Ventures. In 2023 FINKEL will continue their documentary journey, collaborate with more incredible artists, and perform on stages all over the globe. Sink your teeth into the entire catalog at finkelband.com.
