The band was formed in 2012 by Yuto Uchino (Vo./Gt./Synth.) and Kaoru Nakazawa (Ba./Synth.).
Yuto Uchino creates the band’ s music, handling songwriting, recording, mixing, and production. The silky and smooth voice with a distinctive floating sensation and mellow sound blend together to create a fantastic and dreamy music. The music style is based on indie and psychedelic pop, fused with soul, funk, and jazz, creating a soft and mellow sound that brings a sense of peace. Yuto’ s lyrics give power while accepting fear of growth and change, adding to the unique aesthetic of The fin.’s musical world.
They’ve taken the stage at numerous venues in the UK, US, Europe, and Asia, showcasing their talent at festivals like FUJI ROCK, Summer Sonic, SXSW, and The Great Escape. In particular, during their 2023 China tour, they staged shows in over 25 cities, drawing a cumulative audience exceeding 20,000 at their solo performances. They have also toured with numerous artists such as Phoenix, The Last Shadows Puppets, MEW, Circa Waves, Wild Nothing.
The fin. has released the 1st album “Days With Uncertainty” (2014), which was recorded, mixed, and produced by Yuto Uchino, the 2nd album “There” (2018), which welcomed Bradley Spence (Jamiroquai, Radiohead, alt-J) as a co-producer for the first time, the EP “Wash Away” (2019), which welcomed Bradley Spence and Jake Miller (Bjork, Arca) as co-producers, and the 3rd album “Outer Ego” (2021), which was entirely recorded, mixed, and produced by Yuto Uchino.
Starting with “Swans” in December 2023, they began shifting toward a new sonic direction. In 2024, they released “Towards the Sun” and “Alone in the Sky,” followed by “Echoes” in early 2025. In May 2025, they released “Nebula,” a hopeful Motown-soul inspired track that marks a new chapter. Their momentum continues with a sold-out two-night show in London and an appearance at THE GREAT ESCAPE, followed by a U.S. tour in July.
