One Nil

AS THE singer and songwriter with Crowded House, Finn sent a series of deceptively simple, lyrically poignant dispatches from the frontline of contemporary pop, notching up a fair few hits in the process. One Nil, his second solo album, finds Finn employing lurching, funky beats on the hammering, New Radicals-styled Don’t Ask Why and disturbingly sombre atmospherics, underpinned by funereal drums, on Elastic Heart. Alongside these standout tracks is the keening melodic and impossibly lovely new single Wherever You Are. xxxx
