Following up on their 2007 release, Time On Earth – their first studio recording in fourteen years –
New Zealand dream-pop auteurs Crowded House deliver Intriguer, scheduled for release on July 13th, 2010, on
Fantasy Records, a division of Concord Music Group. The internationally acclaimed group begins a nationwide tour of
the U.S. and Canada in support of the new album on Monday, July 12th. Also available that day will be the 2-disc
Intriguer Deluxe Edition, featuring a special bonus live DVD.
Produced by Jim Scott (Wilco), Intriguer once again brings together singer/guitarist and chief songwriter Neil Finn
with original Crowded House bassist Nick Seymour and keyboardist/guitarist Mark Hart, who’d been with the band from
1989 until its last days. Also on board is drummer Mark Sherrod, the relative newcomer to the family, having joined the band for the making of the aforementioned Time On Earth. Recorded at Roundhead Studios in Auckland, New Zealand, in the spring and summer of 2009, the album includes songs that “have been worked over on the road and transformed a few times, some all the way back to square one,” says Finn. “It’s a good place to return to from time to time.”
