BIOGRAPHY
Fine Glindvad Jensen is a Copenhagen-based singer, songwriter, producer, and composer who records as Fine. She comes from the same Copenhagen scene that produced Erika de Casier and Astrid Sonne, and she is one half of the duo Coined with Astrid Sonne. She has also co-written material for NewJeans alongside Erika de Casier, and her voice was sampled by Two Shell on their 2022 track "Home."
Her debut album, Rocky Top Ballads, was released on June 7, 2024 via Escho. It builds songs out of cut-and-layered band improvisations, mixing loose drums, varied guitar textures, bass riffs, reverb-soaked atmosphere, and field recordings with her distinctive voice. Critics responded positively, comparing the record's ethereal, doleful mood to Mazzy Star and Hope Sandoval, with some noting the production could feel unrefined even as the vocals impressed.
WHY THEY'RE COOL
Rocky Top Ballads has been described by reviewers as a strange, hard-to-place record, somewhere between the traditional folk music of Fine's childhood and a hazy, sample-woven modern sound some critics call countrygaze. Comparisons to Mazzy Star and Hope Sandoval, alongside her cross-genre pedigree (co-writing for NewJeans, being sampled by Two Shell, collaborating with Astrid Sonne as Coined), point to an artist whose reach extends well beyond her own catalog while her solo debut carves out a distinct, whispery, melancholic identity.
