Posted April 26, 200718 yr CULTURE BOX - PRESENTING THE CRAFT OF THE SONGWRITER Marr & Dixie Chicks enrich new Crowded House album April 25, 2007, 1:20 PM ET Billboard.com Katie Hasty, N.Y. As expected, the newly reformed Crowded House will release its first album in nearly 15 years this summer. "Time on Earth" will feature contributions from guitarist Smiths/Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr on a pair of songs, plus production credits from Ethan Johns and Steve Lillywhite. The album will be released July 2 in the U.K. via Parlophone, though there is no confirmed release date or label for North America just yet. The album was formed from the foundation of what would have been frontman Neil Finn's next solo album, which was in the works with Crowded House bassist Nick Seymour. "Time on Earth" will be the first album to feature the band's new drummer Matt Sherrod, who replaces the late Paul Hester. One cut, "Silent House," was co-written with the Dixie Chicks, whose own version of the song appeared on last year's Grammy-award winning "Taking the Long Way." Crowded House's last studio effort, "Together Alone," was released in 1993. In January, the group released the CD/DVD set "Farewell to the World," which chronicled its final concert in 1996 in Sydney. Crowded House is confirmed for only a handful of concerts so far, including a gig tomorrow (April 26) at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Ariz., which precedes an appearance at Coachella this weekend. Here is the track list to "Time on Earth": "Nobody Wants To" "Don't Stop Now" "She Called Up" "Say That Again" "Pour Le Monde" "Even a Child" "Heaven That I'm Making" "Silent House" "English Trees" "Walked Her Way Down" "Transit Lounge" "You Are the One To Make Me Cry" "A Sigh" "People Are Like Suns" Are any of you fans of Neil Finn/Crowded House?

June 14, 200718 yr Great band - however Finn was the driving force behind the music anyway wonder why he ressurected the band name? I got the album he released with his brother , i think it was called "Everyone is here". You should check it out, it is superb!
June 14, 200718 yr Great band - however Finn was the driving force behind the music anyway wonder why he ressurected the band name? well seeing as i read the album wqas supposed to be a Neil Finnalbum i suppose being branded as Crowded House will make more sales as the awareness will be higher???
June 14, 200718 yr That's probably true however he must have loads of money of the back of his career. I can't think he needs the money ! But yes Crowded House are more well-known than Neil Finn. Together Alone is a truly excellent album , think i might go listen to it now................. :)
June 14, 200718 yr That's probably true however he must have loads of money of the back of his career. I can't think he needs the money ! But yes Crowded House are more well-known than Neil Finn. I think Splitt Enz reformed last year as well but looked normal this time :lol: :lol: and not so dodgy* so probs no brainer for Crowded House. * dodgy reformed as well
June 14, 200718 yr Author Up to now the last Crowded House album with Paul Hester "Together Alone" remains my favourite Neil Finn album. Anyway here is the video for the new single co-written by Johnny Marr: IKLZQnAHS6Q Crowded House - Don't Stop Now http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/CrowdedHouse-TimeOnEarth.jpg As ever the album cover was completed by bassist Nick Seymour.
