Trace, Log, Text, Narrative

The tagline for alt-folk singer/songwriter Charlie Fink’s latest project ‘Cover My Tracks’ is an intriguing one: “An idealistic young songwriter sets out to write a 21st Century pop masterpiece and vanishes without a trace. Might her personal songbook be the key to unlocking the mystery?” It’s rare enough to encounter an album with a pre-conceived plot line running through it. But Fink, it seems, has taken the idea even further, bringing his narrative drama to full fruition.
