Craig Finn, best known as the frontman of The Hold Steady, brings his signature storytelling to Always Been, his 2025 solo release on Thirty Tigers. Produced by Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs, the album carries a rich, layered sound that fans of both artists will find deeply familiar and satisfying.
Always Been showcases Finn at his narrative best, weaving vivid character studies across its tracks — from returning soldiers to unlikely men of the cloth. The album is accompanied by a companion book of fiction, Lousy with Ghosts, further demonstrating Finn's remarkable range as both a musician and writer, making this a release that rewards listeners who love music rooted in rich, literary storytelling.
