NEWS: Tim Finn Confirms New Album To Be Out In August

Tuesday , 05 Jul 2011


Universally acclaimed singer/songwriter Tim Finn has signed a new deal with ABC Music Australia who will release his ninth solo studio album The View Is Worth The Climb locally on August 29. 

The album was recorded late last year at Roundhead Studios in Auckland with Grammy Award winning, US Producer/Mixer Jacquire King (Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Norah Jones and Modest Mouse).

Tim Finn, one of the most praised and admired artists of the past thirty years, has enjoyed a unique and remarkable career. From his time with pop pioneers Split Enz and Crowded House to a successful solo career, Finn has penned such classics as ‘Six Months In A Leaky Boat’, ‘Poor Boy’, ‘Dirty Creature’, ‘I See Red’, ‘Charlie’, ‘Weather With You’ and ‘Persuasion’. 

The View Is Worth The Climb has proven to be one of Finn’s most satisfying projects to date. He assembled a band of likeminded musicians for the recording; Joey Waronker (Beck, REM), Zac Rae (Macy Gray, Fiona Apple, Cold War Kids), Brett Adams (The Bads), Tony Buchen (Andy Bull) and Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle).  The title track is a co-write with Australia’s leading female artist, the ARIA Award winning Megan Washington.
