Finn explained how the songs were written two or three years ago, with the majority sketched out in a single evening at his piano.
The album's first single Second Nature was recorded in a live session two weeks ago and released the following Monday. Herald entertainment writer Karl Puschmann attended that session and wrote about the experience in his column last week.
With last nights session concluding the recording process Finn says the album will be out this Friday. It's an incredibly fast pace, but Finn admits that behnd the easy going live recording sessions are lots of practice, preparation and managing logistics.
He's incredibly happy with how it's gone out saying that getting here has been a long journey.
"I've been interested in live streaming for a long time," he says. "I did my first in 2001 from my studio at home."
Finn also admits he purposefully cloaked the sessions in secrecy, not letting details like who was performing with him slip.
"It's part of my nature to want to create a few surprises and be a bit deceptive and subversive," he explained.
"And to make things a little more than what somebody might have expected."
