Craig Finn performed “Something To Hope For” from his fourth solo album, I Need A New War (Partisan Records), last night on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The third album in an unexpected trilogy (following 2015’s Faith in the Future and 2017’s We All Want The Same Things), I Need A New War once again sees Finn expertly chronicling our complex, often confusing, modern era. I Need A New War is available now in physical and digital formats.
Finn recently announced live dates in support of I Need A New War with shows backed by his touring band, The Uptown Controllers. The dates begin June 5 at TwangFest/Off Broadway in St. Louis, MO, and continue through the month. Tickets are on sale now. More shows will be announced soon. For complete details, please visit craigfinn.net/tour. Finn’s performance of the record at Murmurr in NYC earlier this year is available to stream now on his YouTube channel.

“Though it may be tempting to consider his solo output simply an in-between, Finn’s evolution in recent years proves otherwise…I Need a New War completes what Finn’s called a trilogy. Ambitiously detailed and thematically cohesive, it’s a satisfying conclusion to the saga he started a few years ago.”
“In their vivid specificity, and even repetition, Finn’s stories channels truths that are timeless and universal. This trilogy shows he’s doing more than moonlighting from his main gig, along with a body of elliptical tales that deserve a fuller telling.” – 4 stars
