2011 release, the third album from the critically acclaimed British outfit. Last Night On Earth possesses a curiosity and a vibrancy, a romance and a restlessness, and a clutch of songs that mark out Charlie Fink as not just as one of the best songwriters of his generation, but also as a supremely gifted storyteller. These are tales of youth and ageing, of optimism and running away, as well of failure and pride. The album's strong narrative thread was in part inspired by Lou Reed's 1973 album Berlin as well as Tom Waits' 1992 record Bone Machine, and a little Arthur Russell thrown in for good measure.
