Neil Finn and Crowded House will hit the road for a New Zealand tour in March.
A new album was finished remotely, all five band members spent time in isolation, and lockdown scares are threatening their New Zealand tour. A new-look Crowded House line-up tells Chris Schulz how Covid-19 nearly derailed all of their plans. Three weeks ago, Nick Seymour, a co-founding member of the Australian-New Zealand band Crowded House, woke early at his home in Sligo, Ireland. It was 2am and he faced a two-hour drive to catch a 7am flight out of Dublin Airport. As he walked to his car, something crossed Seymour s mind for the first time.
Crowded House Preview First New Album Since 2010 With ‘To the Island’ Althea Legaspi
Dreamers Are Waiting. The follow-up to 2010’s
Intriguer, the LP will be released on June 4th via BMG and is available to pre-order here.
The band also dropped a new video for the LP single “To the Island.” The Neil Finn-directed clip was filmed in New Zealand, Los Angeles and Ireland. The visual features each bandmate in different locations before they meet up at a gig. They drive, canoe and rappel their way to a mysterious club, where fairies appear and a psychedelic dance party breaks out.
They’ve also shared the second single off the forthcoming record, ‘To The Island’.
Last October, Crowded House unleashed their first new music in ten years with the release of ‘Whatever You Want’. Now, the iconic rockers have returned with news of a forthcoming album and the release of a new single.
