Speaking of the tour frontman Neil Finn says, "The intention is the same as ever, to get the people involved, to hit some heights and leave the songs hanging in the air."
Crowded House formed from the ashes of Split Enz and achieved massive success during the late '80s and early '90s with four hit albums and singles including 'Don't Dream It's Over', 'Fall At Your Feet', 'Better Be Home Soon', 'Something So Strong', 'Weather With You', and '4 Seasons In One Day' before the band split up in 1995.
Neil Finn and co. began work on their new album last year at Roundhead Studios in Auckland with Jim Scott as producer. Speaking of the new album, Finn has the following to say, "This 11 track album is exotic in parts, traditional in origin, through many a twist and turn we fashioned some drama and intrigue. You will find some threads that go back through all that history and some new discoveries as well that will need to be followed up. Its part of the continuum and it may just be the best thing we've done 'til the next one."
