Crowded House - Don’t Stop Now / Time On Earth

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 25 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.
