-
Needle
Mythology
reissue
a
special
expanded
album
edition
of
Finn,
the
album
released
by
New
Zealand’s
most
celebrated
musical
siblings
Tim
and
Neil
Finn
to
acclaim
both
from
critics
and
long-time
fans
who
had
followed
the
pair’s
work
since
their
time
in
together
in
Split
Enz.
This
is
the
first
time
Finn
has
received
a
vinyl
release.
Released
in
close
collaboration
with
Tim
and
Neil,
the
newly-expanded
Finn
comes
with
an
entire
album
The
Finn
Demos,
which
gathers
together
ten
songs
from
1989’s
legendary
Murchison
St
sessions,
remastered
by
Miles
Showell
at
Abbey
Road
Studios.
Convening
at
Neil’s
new
Melbourne
apartment
with
a
view
to
making
an
album
together,
Tim
and
Neil
embarked
on
an
intensely
productive
period,
writing
several
songs
that
would
briefly
result
in
Tim
joining
Crowded
House
for
the
resulting
Woodface
album.
Assisted
by
the
late
Paul
Hester
on
drums,
the
demos
capture
a
host
of
songs
that
would
go
on
to
be
played
in
arenas
around
the
world
in
their
newborn
state:
‘It’s
Only
Natural’,
‘Catherine
Wheels’,
‘Weather
With
You’,
featuring
a
whole
extra
verse
and
the
previously
unreleased
‘Four
Stepping
in
3/4
Time’.
For
this
release,
long-time
fan
and
collaborator
on
Neil’s
7
Worlds
Collide
project,
Ed
O’Brien
(Radiohead)
contributed
liner
notes,
hymning
the
album’s
“heavy”
beauty
and
its
“elemental
energy.”
Featuring
brand
new
artwork
designed
by
Needle
Mythology’s
James
Gosling,
the
expanded
Finn
features
newly-unearthed
images
of
Tim
and
Neil
taken
by
Darryl
Ward
during
the
sessions
for
the
album.
For
this
release,
Tim
and
Neil
have
also
shared
the
“listening
notes”
submitted
by
the
brothers’
parents
–
something
they
would
do
for
every
song
their
sons
wrote.
For
Finn,
Tim
and
Neil
enlisted
the
services
of
Tchad
Blake,
whose
“feel”-based
approach
brought
out
the
best
in
the
brothers,
who
played
every
instrument
on
the
record.
Writing
about
the
record
for
Mojo
at
the
time,
David
Hepworth
characterised
Finn
as
a
“warm
and
loose
record”
that
hardcore
fans
would
undoubtedly
“adore”.
Originally
released
on
Parlophone
Records,
Finn
spawned
an
unlikely
top
30
hit,
the
mesmerising
semi-improvised
psych-rock
fan
favourite
‘Suffer
Never’.
The
expanded
double
album
edition
of
Finn
has
been
cut
at
Abbey
Road
by
Miles
Showell
and
pressed
on
180g
vinyl
at
The
Vinyl
Factory.
