"Control" by Finn blends reflection and warmth into a folk-driven journey

The new single "Control" opens with an earthily balanced sound that feels grounded yet ever-opening. Led by Mark and Luke Finn, the layered acoustic guitars combine with the soft twang of a banjo to create a textured base for what sounds like a conversation that has been going on. 

The reflective core of the song continues to come out as it goes on. These are songs about all the things we grasp at that slip between our fingers. They explore the gray area of what we strive to hold on to versus that which passes us by. The feeling is amplified by lush vocal harmonies that bring depth and a sense of community to the listening experience, making it feel shared. It gives you the kind of lift with a quiet sense of hope that feels earned rather than given.

"Control" was carefully written and recorded at Woodstock Studios in Melbourne. It has a raw aesthetic that suits it just fine. The instruments, the tempo, everything about the song feels planned so that you can solely focus on the message. When Finn makes a full appearance on "Control," a map of the route ahead, based on truth and destruction, emerges for their next album. A track that lingers with you and a reminder that relinquishing is sometimes your greatest strength.
