Crowded House Shares “Playing with Fire”; New Album (First Since 2010) ‘Dreamers Are Waiting’ Due 6/4

On June 4, beloved Australian band Crowded House will release Dreamers Are Waiting, the group’s seventh full-length album and first since 2010.

Its release comes after the band reformed in 2019, premiering a single in October 2020 — its first in more than a decade — leading up to this official album announcement and new song this week.

Here’s the video for “Playing With Fire”:

Said front man Neil Finn of the song:

“This song was formed out of a Crowded House jam, live in the studio but then evolved its character through many twists and turns during quarantine in 2020. ‘Playing With Fire’ carries within it the contradiction I often feel on joyous occasions, the presence of hope together with an impending sense of doom.”
