Essential Albums
- Neil Finn didn’t create Crowded House’s third and most rewarding album on his own, instead co-writing this lushly adventurous set with his brother (and former Split Enz foil) Tim. Woodface follows the lead of The Beatles and Beach Boys at their most psychedelic, expanding pop music’s range with bold sonic and lyrical details. While “Fall at Your Feet” is a timeless ballad as good as any found on the band’s hit-stacked 1986 debut, Woodface’s stranger turns foretell the proliferation of dreamy, obtuse indie rock. Every song is a layer cake of mesmerising melodies.

About Crowded House
While growing up, Crowded House lead singer Neil Finn participated in family sing-alongs while his mom played piano. ∙ Neil joined brother Tim’s band Split Enz in 1977 and penned the 1980 single “I Got You,” which was a minor hit in the US. ∙ After Split Enz dissolved, Neil formed a new band, named after the crowded house in California where they lived while recording their debut album. ∙ Crowded House’s 1986 self-titled debut spawned the worldwide hits “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Something So Strong.” ∙ “Don’t Dream It’s Over” has been covered by Miley Cyrus & Ariana Grande, Sixpence None the Richer, and Paul Young. ∙ Their single “Now We’re Getting Somewhere” features contributions from Elvis Presley’s bassist, Jerry Scheff, and legendary session drummer Jim Keltner. ∙ Crowded House reemerged in 2020 after a period of inactivity with a revamped lineup featuring Finn’s sons, Liam and Elroy, and plans for new music and tour dates.
