Hobart W Fink – “Final Fantasy 7” Single Release

Brendon Goldwasser

Hobart W Fink — gutsy, bluesy, indie-rock with a soupçon of grunge — is proud to announce the release of their new single “Final Fantasy 7” to be released on November 12th with a special preview at their physical release show at Harvard and Stone on November 6th. For more info on the event click here. “Final Fantasy 7” is a biplane over the Pacific bathed in an endless stream of sunshine. A haunting riff blends with undulating guitars over sun-streaked waves, as Jayk Gallagher and Marie Bollinger’s crooning tones carry the listener into a tranquil space that nonethless rocks. The breakdown is unabashed grunge, featuring guitar licks reminiscent of Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins over rough, sparkling distortion, with voices intertwining in a crescendo of escapism. With lyrics that speak of letting go of control, and inhabiting the relief of the present moment, “Final Fantasy 7” is a welcome respite from the doldrums of repetitive rock, a breath of ocean air that cuts right through the LA smog. The music video for the single, shot in Peru and New Orleans, will be released on December 10th at a live show with new singer Lauren Lakis at The Echo in LA.
