Crowded House - Gravity Stairs

Gravity Stairs is the eighth studio album by Australian and New Zealand rock band Crowded House, released in May 2024 via BMG.

Following on from the release of their latest single 'Oh Hi', ARIA Hall of Fame luminaries Crowded House bring us their eighth studio album ‘Gravity Stairs'.

It's the act of climbing those figurative "gravity stairs”, inspired by a heavy stone staircase near where Finn vacations, that he likens to his mindset as a creator. “It’s a metaphor for getting a little older and becoming aware of your own mortality, your own physicality, "Finn says. “Things are getting a little harder, and there's more determination needed to get to the top, but there's still the same compulsion to climb them”.

Originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and the late Paul Hester, the group's self-titled debut in 1986 went platinum, uplifted by iconic smashes 'Something So Strong' and 'Don't Dream It's Over'. Speaking to the latter's impact, everyone from Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande to U2, among others, has covered it.

As always, Crowded House continue to forge ahead with another chapter of their legacy anchored by more touring and new music.

This album is on cloudy blue coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via BMG.
