After more than 10 years of inactivity, Crowded House has released its seventh studio album,
Dreamers Are Waiting. The Australian band, known for their hit singles “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Something So Strong”, was formed in 1985 by Neil Finn, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour. The band broke up in 1996, but reformed in 2006 following Hester’s death. Now, the current lineup features Finn’s sons.
Dreamers Are Waiting is an album with a lot of stuff going on beneath the surface. It requires several close listens. It is a subtle album, full of soft, smooth rock. The first two tracks especially create a really interesting sonic element, made more so by the fact that this is a classic rock group releasing new music in 2021.

Chris Thile presents a truly solo album,
Laysongs, on which his voice and mandolin are the sole contributors. Released by Nonesuch Records, the album contains six originals, including “Salt (in the Wounds) of the Earth,” a three-part suite inspired by C.S. Lewis’
The Screwtape Letters, and three covers and was co-produced by Thile’s wife, Claire Coffee. “[Coffee] has incredible taste and narrative intuition,” Thile said. “She was able to help me weave the original and non-original material together.” Engineer Jody Elff recorded
Laysongs with Thile at Future-Past, a recording studio in Upstate New York built inside an old church. The album’s content was informed by Thile’s Christian upbringing, spurred by Nonesuch’s Chairman Emeritus Bob Hurwitz, who told Thile he, “should do a God-themed record of some kind, it’s all over [Thile’s] work.”
