NOW ABOUT HOW by FUDGE FINGAS

Is the highly anticipated debut album from Gavin Sutherland aka Fudge Fingas. The Fudge Fingas discography, dating back almost a decade, is teasingly small with only a sprinkling of 10”s and 12”s to his name.Since 2004 the Edinburgh-based artist has been a mainstay of both Prime Numbers and Firecracker Recordings, two UK labels that share a penchant for classically rooted electronic music. A side from the “About Time” E.P released last summer ( including the track “Me & U” which was included in FACT magazines top 60 tracks of 2010 ) this album will be his first solo release since 2005. A talented multi-instrumentalist who purveys a style of deep house that is hard to pin down but very much his own, Fudge Fingas tracks are invariably emotive, impeccably produced affairs, demonstrating a keen knowledge of electronic music. The fact his music has been included on mixes by artists as varied as Amé and Joy Orbison should hint at the broad range of his musical abilities. ‘Through his productions and songwriting he has developed a remarkably strong reputation for heavily romantic, introspective house / not house paeans and once again vocals and lyrics play a large part on this album as Fudge exercises his unique voice to give a very personal feel. The music, meanwhile, though inspired by the dancefloor, is meant as much for the mind as for the body. “Now About How” is an album that fuses diverse styles, tipping it’s cap to a world of sounds absorbed over the course of a lifetime. It is the sound of Fudge’s childhood spent learning from his record loving family about the many wonders of 20th century recorded music, filtered through the classic house and techno template which was the soundtrack to his formative years. Fudge Fingas is a man very much immersed in his music. As well as producing he manages Edinburgh’s best dance music record shop ‘Underground Solu’shn’ whilst also lending his musicianship to tracks by other artists on Prime Numbers such as Linkwood & Trus’me.
