Neil Finn didn’t sound like a guy spending much time polishing the old trophies. “After I finish a record, I seldom listen to it,” he told me, which is a pretty crazy coming from the person responsible for a few songs most of us have had living in our heads for decades. With Crowded House’s Gravity Stairs, he was much more interested in what happens next, especially with Liam and Elroy now inside the band and the whole thing becoming a family conversation.

Finn talked about the album’s dreamy psychedelic feel, writing “Night Song” from a 16-minute Prophet synth jam, and making “Oh Hi” with school kids in Kenya and Tanzania in mind. He also said he’s more willing now to be direct in his writing. At a certain point, you don’t need to prove the songs can last. You just need to keep making the next one matter.
