NASHVILLE, TN (April 24, 2026) — Today, Melbourne-based roots and Americana band FINN — led by brothers Mark and Luke Finn — announce their forthcoming 11-track album, Control, slated for release on Friday, August 7. Recorded at Woodstock Studios in Melbourne, Control was produced and engineered by Terry Hart and mastered by GRAMMY-winning engineer Gavin Lurssen at Lurssen Mastering. Since 2008, FINN have quietly carved out one of the most distinctive catalogues in Australia’s independent roots and Americana scene.

Alongside the album announcement, FINN unveils the lead single and title track, “Control.” The track is performed by the band’s longtime lineup including — Terry Hart (multi-instrumentalist), Jeremy Staples (bass), and Daniel Angelini (drums) — whose collaborative musicianship shapes the band’s warm, organic sound.

“‘Control’ introduces the central question running through the album — how much of life we actually shape ourselves, and how much simply unfolds around us,” the band shares. Musically, the track carries a buoyant energy, driven by organ, guitars, and banjo. Yet beneath that warmth lies a quieter tension, reflecting a search for stability in an unpredictable world.

Marked as their tenth studio album, Control continues the band’s tradition of blending acoustic textures, layered harmonies, and restrained arrangements that allow the emotional core of each song to take center stage. The project represents the band’s most focused work yet — 11 carefully crafted songs exploring memory, faith, uncertainty, and human connection.

“The record is about learning to live with uncertainty,” the band explains. “The songs explore friendships, loss, faith and the quiet resilience that keeps people moving forward even when the path isn’t clear. At its heart, it’s an album about connection and the belief that the people we hold onto can still give meaning to the journey.”

Their most recent full-length release, The Waterfall (2024), an ambitious eighteen-song collection, showcases the full breadth of the band’s musical palette. Where that album explored the wide scope of their sound, Control turns inward, distilling their approach into something more focused and reflective. “After ten albums you start to understand what you really are,” FINN reflects. “‘The Waterfall’ explored the full width of what we could do. ‘Control’ goes deeper.”

Across their career, FINN have blended folk, Americana, blues, rock, and melodic pop into a cohesive style defined by thoughtful songwriting, rich vocal harmonies, and understated arrangements. Drawing on classic roots traditions while maintaining a voice entirely their own, the band continues to refine a sound that is both timeless and distinctive.
