He Will Have His Way: The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn – out November 12

The Finn Brothers may have a global legacy, but every Aussie and Kiwi holds at least one Crowded House song dear to our Southern Cross branded hearts…

OK, all schmaltz aside, the Finn Brothers have concocted some of the most iconic and stunning tracks in living memory.

He Will Have His Way To honour the legendary Tim and Neil, some of the nation’s most diverse and favourite talents have pulled together to create He Will Have His Way: The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn… and it’s freakin’ stunning.

He Will Have His Way is the male sequel to 2005’s universally acclaimed She Will Have Her Way and features the likes of Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes, Paul Dempsey, Chris Cheney, former members of Midnight Oil [as The Break] and Empire Of The Sun’s Luke Steele [as The Sleepy Jackson]. They are joined by more recent acts such as Boy & Bear, Art Vs Science, Philadelphia Grand Jury, Angus Stone, Dan Sultan, Oh Mercy, Artisan Guns and more… here’s the full tracklisting:

1.   I Feel Possessed – Oh Mercy
2.   Distant Sun – Chris Cheney

You can read testimonials from each of the contributing artists on the He Will Have His Way facebook page.

And don’t you worry that there are two versions of Better Be Home Soon. In true Luke Steele fashion, The Sleepy Jackson’s version is pretty damn unique. In fact give all the tracks a whirl here!

We’re thinking this album is probably the Best. Christmas Gift. Ever. It’s available from iTunes, JB Hi-Fi, The In Song, and Sanity. Go, go, go!

Into The Cold – Another stunning video from NZ’s Artisan Guns

Every now and then a special band comes along.
Unassuming and humble, just doing what they do, which just happens to be making great music.
Auckland’s Artisan Guns are one of those bands.

Artisan Guns - Into The Cold

Following the delicious first taste Autumn, this new single Into The Cold boasts a fantastically simple video that shows off some of that stunning Kiwi landscape.

Taken from their second EP Hearts, set for release on June 18th
