Crowded House has long been celebrated for their profound songwriting, spearheaded by Neil Finn. Originating in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985 from the remnants of New Zealand’s Split Enz, their self-titled debut album captured global attention with unforgettable hits like ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ and ‘Something So Strong’. The band’s original run spanned a decade, producing four studio albums and gaining a devoted fanbase renowned for their engaging live performances.
After the heartbreaking loss of Paul Hester in 2005, Neil and Nick Seymour revived Crowded House with a sense of purpose, aiming to weave more good stories into their legacy. They introduced drummer Matt Sherrod and collaborated with Mark Hart to produce ‘Time On Earth’, which was met with critical acclaim. Following this, they released ‘Intriguer’ in 2009 and were honored with induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2016. With over 12 million albums sold and 1.2 billion streams, the duo, inspired by Finn’s recent success with Fleetwood Mac, embarked on a new chapter.
Their seventh studio album, ‘Dreamers Are Waiting’, was crafted in Valentine and United Studios in Los Angeles, as well as remotely during the first half of 2020. This album features a collection of tracks that showcase their enduring artistry:
- 1. Bad Times Good
- 2. Playing With Fire

- 4. Sweet Tooth
- 5. Whatever You Want
- 6. Show Me the Way
