Neil & Tim Finn

[CRAZY-HORSE]

NEIL FINN "out of silence" 2017

his fourth solo album.
a piano based orchestrated melancholy collection of songs.
album's making was live-streamed on his website each Friday for several weeks as he rehearsed/demo'd the tracks so fans could see the recording/writing process...an excellent ploy to build up hype and interest.
a week after the last broadcast the album was released.
so the songs have an ethereal quality about them with the multilayered vocal tracks,
it even hinges on a spiritual almost choir-like feel to it.
one track features older sibling Tim which is a nice surprise, but alas, it is the least likeable one here.
all up, a quality album from a dude almost forty years into his recording career.
