In 2014, <a href="spotify:artist:2TMEsfba3OCtE3uW2JDyk4">Manek</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6FVxEgfQsGrJ0BogIOYCd6">dal Forno</a> formed a duo called <a href="spotify:artist:1AkpMnAbZvX1y5jMfTV04A">Tarcar</a> and released their debut EP, Mince Glace, on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Blackest+Ever+Black%22">Blackest Ever Black</a> label. That label also released Hide Before Dinner, the debut LP by the newly rechristened F ingers, in 2015. The group also issued a limited tour-only cassette that year called Trilogy: They Got the Best Heart. Following the 2016 release of <a href="spotify:artist:6FVxEgfQsGrJ0BogIOYCd6">dal Forno</a>'s debut solo album, You Know What It's Like, F ingers returned in 2017 with the full-length Awkwardly Blissing Out. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
