The best thing about Jim Finn being hooked up to a dialysis machine for six weeks was this: time. Time to finish a collection of ideas that would become the Sydney musician’s solo venture. As a member of psych-dance world-beaters Art vs Science, spare time isn’t something Finn has a lot of. So when news came in early-2012 that he must undergo a kidney transplant, the relentlessly positive Finn didn’t flag — he saw it as an opportunity. “To me the whole thing wasnt a big deal,” says Finn of the procedure. “It just meant I couldnt go travelling.” Which meant he could write. “Sitting there on dialysis, I had time to trial different drum beats or keyboard sounds. I really planned it out and made sure I knew exactly how every song went. So by the time I got into the studio, it was just a matter of recording it all live.”
