Liam Finn - Jump Your Bones

Most New Zealanders would know the lineage of this very talented songwriter and musician, but for those offshore, Liam Finn is the son of Neil Finn, ex-Split Enz (1970s and 1980s) and Crowded House (1980s and 1990s). Liam deliberately innovates, challenges, and has put together some of the more interesting music coming out of New Zealand today. But global success, apart from niche recognition, has so far eluded him. Maybe it is the shadow of his father's success. Or maybe he isn't really chasing superficial success for it's own sake. That wouldn't surprise me. There is definitely an integrity to everything he has released so far, and I never feel he is compromising. Subsequent to a spell in his first group, "Betchadupa" he has released three albums, "I'll Be Lightning" (2007), "Champagne in Seashells EP" (2009), and "FOMO" (2011). Liam Finn is a rewarding artist to follow. You can buy "FOMO" from which the "Jump Your Bones" single is taken, at the link below.
