Product Description
RELEASE DATE: 31ST MAY 2024
For more than four decades, Crowded House leader Neil Finn has been on an evolving, winding
journey. Crowded House’s mid-Eighties hits like “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Something So Strong,”
combined with albums like Woodface and Together Alone, set the standard for the period’s erudite
jangle-pop while always pushing the band’s art forward.
That creative spirit brings Finn and his Crowded House bandmates to Gravity Stairs, their first new
release since 2021’s Dreamers Are Waiting and eighth overall. Produced by the band with Steven
Schram, the album shows Crowded House in its current incarnation—Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell
Froom, and Finn’s sons Elroy and Liam—as sharp as ever, feeling musically adventurous, and still
capable of reaching the staggering highs that have made them an international favorite. It’s the act of
climbing those figurative “gravity stairs,” inspired by a heavy stone staircase near where Finn vacations,
that he likens to his own mindset as a creator.
