Crowded House have released a new single called Teenage Summer.
The strummed acoustic track offers some Simon and Garfunkel vibes and serves as the second preview of the Australian band's eighth studio album, 'Gravity Stairs,' due out through BMG on May 31. Bandleader Neil Finn explained:
"My grandson Manaia told me Teenage Summer was one of his favourite songs. He’d identified the peak moment in the song and a light went on. It’s that simple, the children must be heard."
The follow-up to 2021's 'Dreamers Are Waiting' will also include their group's recent single Oh Hi.
Crowded House currently line up as Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, Elroy Finn and Liam Finn. They'll embark on a previously scheduled UK and Ireland tour in the summer, which features an appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival in June.
They've also confirmed a North American tour that kicks off on August 29 in St. Augustine, Florida. Tickets for the majority of the new dates go on general sale at 10am local time on April 19, except their shows in Woodinville; Washington and Highland Park; Illinois, which go on sale on April 22 and April 24, respectively. Their gigs in Vienna; Virginia and Saratoga; California are on sale now.
