As with a lot of young singer/songwriters, much of Finch's music delves into that well-explored territory of heartbreak, falling for someone new, and those other turmoils de amor.
However, unlike a great many such musicians, Finch employs a diverse set of dramatic lenses for spotlighting these well-worn subjects.
