Crowded House Announces Details Of Brand New Album, 'Dreamers Are Waiting'

Internationally known, and universally loved rock band Crowded House have this week announced details of their upcoming 7th studio album, Dreamers Are Waiting – the groups first collection of new material in a decade!

Set for release June 4th 2021 on EMI Records, and featuring the singles Whatever You Want and To The Island, the album looks set to be a triumphant return to form for the legendary band, who first found fame in the 1980’s with hits including Don’t Dream It’s Over, Something So Strong and Distant Sun.

Feeling inspired and re-energised to get back into the studio with fellow bandmate Nick Seymour to record new music following his surprise star turn and incredibly successful world tour with British-American supergroup Fleetwood Mac, lead singer Neil Finn admits he’s excited to begin a new chapter in the Crowded House story.

“We were fortunate to be recording in the studio right before lockdown and so began this album with band tracks recorded live in a room, all brimming with character and energy.” Neil says of the albums origins. “We then spent our strangest year, 2020, at distance from each other but connecting daily, swapping files and making those tracks complete. We’re so excited and grateful to be back in one room together now, rehearsing, first to play live in front of audiences in NZ and soon we hope for the rest of the world.”
