Today, we flood your listening holes with the first track from Liam Finn’s highly anticipated Champagne In Seashells EP. With the cymbal smashing denouement and erratic, untamed synths roaming like eels beneath the surface, it seems we may be seeing a different side to Mr Finn?
The Crowded House protege has been immersed within his musical love affair for the last two years, for what time not spent writing Liam has toured the globe incessantly. The new EP serves as an experimental extension of his 2007 debut album, recorded in the same Auckland studio, with the same analogue equipment, yet with an agressively adventurous reach towards lyrical complexities audacious new directions.
Our free Track Of The Day is the unpredictably pensive ‘Plane Crash’, that stews on Finn’s vocals and composed atmospherics before bursting into flames like… Well, like a plane crash.
