Early American Adventures (World Where You Live, Something So Strong, Hole In The River) Listen to the best of Crowded House on Apple Music and Spotify, and scroll down to read our introduction to the best Crowded House songs. The appropriately titled Dreamers Are Waiting, the group’s first studio album in 11 years, was released in June 2021. Another long hiatus followed when Finn returned to his solo career and became part of Fleetwood Mac’s touring band, but they reunited again at the end of 2019 with Mitchell Froom and Finn’s two sons Liam and Elroy joining the line-up. However, the death in 2005 of Paul Hester after years of fighting depression brought the band back together for two more albums.
Only one further album followed before the group split and Finn went solo. While they lost the US mainstream with third album Woodface, its set of uplifting, sonically-pleasing songs won them newfound popularity in the UK and Europe. For all the stunning songs reflecting Finn’s love of The Beatles and other melodic giants, their music had real potency and was unafraid of exploring difficult, sometimes painful topics. It was an early sign that the group were not prepared to compromise for easy commercial gain. Having broken the States, the group could have easily served up more of the same, but their second album Temple Of Low Men was a darker, more intense affair that highlighted the maturing of Finn’s songwriting, but lacked its predecessor’s obvious hits. The American sound of their self-titled debut album began to slowly resonate in the US and hit a peak when the single “Don’t Dream It’s Over” climbed to No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Initially comprising vocalist, guitarist, and principal songwriter Finn, Split Enz drummer Paul Hester, and bassist Nick Seymour, the group found their immediate musical direction when they signed to Capitol Records and relocated to Los Angeles to record with producer Mitchell Froom.
