Perfect Darkness is the fifth album from British musician Fink, and the fourth to be recorded with his self-titled band. It was released in 2011 on Ninja Tune.

On the concept of the album:

The album was recorded in the space of 20 days with the intention of capturing a "sense of right nowness" and an "organic sounding recording". The title was chosen because it sounded "really first-tracky" to the band. Behind the title is also a deliberate misinterpretation of the genre of folk, and the album is described by Greenall not to be "a collection of songs about being dumped or ships leaving meadows or whatever it is people think folk’s supposed to be nowadays, [it] is not that at all."

The album was produced by Billy Bush (who has worked with artists such as Beck and Garbage) and recorded in Brighton and Los Angeles.

All tracks written by Fin Greenall, Tim Thornton and Guy Whittaker, except where noted.
