Lightsleeper

Description

The first joint album of the father-son duo Neil & Liam FinnRecorded mainly at Neil's studio in Auckland, Lightsleeper is full of melodies and twiststhat bear the signature of the Finn family. When Liam's lo-fi atmosphere meets Neil's iconic pop sensibility, they come together with intimacy and wonder; which quickly leads one to wonder why this father-son duo has never collaborated together before. The Finn family's philosophy of making music with familyand friends is even reflected in the personnel recruited to make the album: Sharon Finn - Neil's wife and Liam's mother - plays bass ontwo songs, Elroy Finn - Liam's brother - plays drums on seven, and their good friend Connan Mockasin onfour. Their Greek friends Elias Dendias and Spiros Anemogianis bring their bouzouki and accordion on 'Back To Life', and the legendary Mick Fleetwood features on 'Anger Plays A Part', 'Any Other Way' and 'We KnowWhat It Means'. This characteristic spirit of musicians at their peak, connected to each other by an intact desire tomake music that is not simply a reflection of a year of work but something prepared withheart and soul and the fully transcribed euphoria of being alive is what makes Lightsleeper such a magnificentprogression in the musical history of the Finn family.FOR THOSE WHO LOVEFleetwood Mac, MacDeMarco, Connan Mockasin
