Words by Luc Hinson
Ahead of the release of Good Tea, we caught up with another of West London's finest - Finn Foxell. Finn explained to us the process that's gone into the EP, from its prolonged assembly to his personal influences. The EP is out on the 3rd of October, before he sets off up the county in support of Lava La Rue, you can catch our interview below.
BB: Finn, tell our readers a little about yourself, how did you get involved with music?
FF: My older brother used to spit grime so I started writing from really young off that energy, around 15 I started experimenting with my guy parallels mic in his bedroom.
BB: Describe Good Tea for us in 3 words...

BB: What do you get out of music?
FF: Outlet & a soundtrack
BB: What was the inspiration behind Good Tea, and why did you choose to release it now?
FF: These four tracks are very stretched out chronologically in when they were made, so I feel like they sum up a lot of the past two years for me even though other music of mine has dropped in that time, it’s been a strong wait but the beginning of winter was perfect
BB: Is your identity something that’s consciously reflected in your music?
FF: I think I carry a message and in that, I put across a lot of myself for sure
