Info zu Dreamers Are Waiting

»Dreamers Are Waiting« lautet der bezeichnende Titel der ersten Platte der Rockikonen nach mehr als einer Dekade. Willkommen zurück.

Was für eine Überraschung: Keine Geringeren als Crowded House kehren 2021 mit einem neuen Album zurück, dem ersten seit elf langen Jahren. »Dreamers Are Waiting« heißt der Nachfolger von »Intriguer« aus dem Jahr 2010.

Aber bereits die erste Single, »To the Island«, zeigt: Die australisch-neuseeländische Band um den Sänger und Songwriter Neil Finn weiß immer noch mit ihrem Mix aus Indie- und Alternative Rock, Pop und New Wave zu begeistern.

Das Line-Up der Band auf »Dreamers Are Waiting« umfasst neben den Gründungsmitglieder Neil Finn und Nick Seymour den Produzenten und Keyboarder Mitchell Froom sowie Finns Söhne, den Sänger und Gitarristen Liam Finn und den Schlagzeuger Elroy Finn.

Crowded House

Crowded House
After the break up of Split Enz in 1984, one of its major songwriters, Neil Finn (b. 27 May 1958, Te Awamutu, New Zealand; guitar), along with Split Enz drummer Paul Hester plus Craig Hooper (guitar) and Nick Seymour (bass) formed Crowded House in 1986, after originally calling themselves the Mullanes.

Signed to Capitol Records, the group resided in Los Angeles (where they were given their new name after the group's cramped living conditions), and worked with producer Mitchell Froom. With the group by now reduced to a trio with the departure of Hooper, Crowded House's debut album was released to little fanfare, but two singles lifted from it became enormously successful giving the group US chart hits with 'Don't Dream It's Over' (number 2) and 'Something So Strong' (number 7) in 1987. The album had one of the longest ascents up the charts ever noted, eventually peaking at number 12.

A subdued reaction to the second album failed to consolidate the group's reputation in the singles chart despite reaching the US Top 40. Paul Young gave the group some welcome publicity in the UK by singing 'Don't Dream It's Over' at the Nelson Mandela concert at Wembley Stadium in June 1988. Neil's reconciliation with brother Tim Finn led to Crowded House strengthening the line-up when he joined in February 1991. The Finn brothers subsequently cracked the UK market with the Top 20 hit 'Fall At Your Feet' (1991) and the Top 10 with 'Weather With You' (1992). The much acclaimed album Woodface also reached the Top 10 in the UK Crowded House's standing in their adopted home of Melbourne, Australia is such that the Melbourne Museum For Performing Arts displays a Crowded House exhibition, containing assorted memorabilia of the group.

In November 1991, while the band were enjoying world-wide success, Tim Finn decided to leave the line-up and continue with his solo career. Both brothers were awarded the OBE in June 1993 for their contribution to music of New Zealand. In June 1996 they announced their farewell, bowing out with an excellent compilation package featuring three new songs. Their emotional final performance was in Sydney on 24 November 1996. Neil Finn moved on to a solo career, releasing his debut album in June 1998.
