Time On Earth
Door Michiel Veenstra, woensdag 2 mei 2007 om 11:54
Door alle kouwe drukte van de afgelopen week (pun intended) zou ik toch bijna vergeten iets te melden over de vijfde SITE_SMARTLINK_REPLACEMENT cd die dit jaar dan toch echt uitkomt. Het album gaat Time On Earth heten en ligt 2 juli in de winkels, voorafgegaan door de single Dont Stop Now op 25 juni. Het is het eerste album sinds SITE_SMARTLINK_REPLACEMENT uit 1993 en de break-up van de band in 1996. Nu nog die Nederlandse tourdata mannen!
On 2nd July the re-united Crowded House release ‘Time On Earth’, their first studio album since 1993’s ‘Together Alone’. With a line-up featuring founder members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour, former member Mark Hart and new drummer Matt Sherrod, Crowded House have returned with a stunning album which deserves to be rated alongside their best. The fourteen song collection has all the hallmarks of classic Crowded House - peerless melodies, imaginatively played and beautifully sung - and, as with all their albums, the cover artwork is a Nick Seymour painting.
‘Time On Earth’ was recorded at Roundhead Studios, Auckland, NZ, RAK Studios, London, and Real World Studios, Wiltshire, and was produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ray LaMontagne) and Steve Lillywhite (U2, Morrissey). Guitar legend Johnny Marr features on two tracks, lead-off single ‘Don’t Stop Now’ (out 25th June), and ‘Even A Child’, a song he co-wrote with Neil Finn. Another album track, ‘Silent House’, was co-written by Finn and the Dixie Chicks, whose own version of the song appears on their Grammy Award winning album ‘Taking the Long Way’.
Crowded House formed in Melbourne in 1985 and first tasted global success with their massive 1987 hit ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’. They continued to have hits for a decade, including perennial radio favourites ‘Weather With You’ and ‘It’s Only Natural’. The band produced four studio albums and a best of, ‘Recurring Dream’, which sold over a million copies in the UK alone, where Crowded House won the Brit for Best International Group in 1994. The band split in 1996 following a farewell concert outside Sydney Opera House in front of 120,000 fans.
Subsequently Neil Finn has forged a successful solo career, releasing two albums under his own name and two, ‘Finn’ (1995) and the Gold-selling ‘Everyone Is Here’ (2004), with his brother Tim as The Finn Brothers.
Paul Hester, Crowded House’s original drummer, tragically passed away in 2005. ‘Time On Earth’ is dedicated to his memory.
