For those who might be interested, Neil Finn just announced that his next album is done and will be released in August. It will be a collaborative project with his son Liam Finn who is an outstanding singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in his own right.

The new album will be called Light Sleeper. Here is a video of them performing some of the songs on the upcoming album and some old favorites. "Anger Plays A Part" is a particular gem from the new batch of songs. I haven't heard the new album (although I've heard about half of them performed in Neil shows). A friend of mine has actually heard the new album and he said it is very strong.

Neil is in super creative mode having released one of the best albums of his 40+ year career in 2017 (Out of Silence) and another new album coming out in August.

And apparently Neil has almost completed another new album with his brother Tim as The Finn Brothers (Neil writes such great songs with his brother Tim). Neil has said that this album may end up being a studio album or may end up being converted into a musical of some type. The song "Alone" (from the Out of Silence album) was written during these sessions with Tim.

As another FYI, many of the fans on the Finn Forum are very upset that Neil has joined Fleetwood Mac because they worry that this will deter Neil's creative output that is currently flowing like a river in recent years.

Here is the video of Neil and Liam playing a batch of songs including "Anger Plays A Part" and Neil/Tim singing "Alone."
