Fionn

Call it the full-circle record for folk-pop duo Fionn, revisiting the sound and spirit of their heralded first releases, though their path to this point has been anything but predictable.

After all, twin sisters Alanna and Brianne Finn-Morris only dropped their self-titled debut in 2018, though they’ve been quite prolific since, developing a songwriting palette and penchant in a few short years that even career artists would kill for.
“We definitely went in a more organic direction with these songs,” Brianne muses, noting Fionn’s preceding two LPs – 2020’s Everyone’s a Critic and especially 2021’s Candid Constellations – found them building on their Celtic-inspired folk foundation with increasingly pop-centric sensibilities. “We wanted to return to that very raw, very real place where we started.”

Put simply, their new album finds the sisters intentionally limiting their palette but painting with the deft strokes and dynamism typically adopted from decades of experience. It’s still catchy as hell, relying on musicianship, authenticity, and songwriting acumen for hooks instead of transient high-tech tools. Revisiting the pure, undiluted creative prowess that propelled them to fame in the first place.
