After touring together in January the father and son duo have today released single 'Back to Life' and announced they'll be releasing their first album together – Lightsleeper, in August.
The album is a family affair from the very start: the opening track 'Island Of Peace' was written by Neil as a gift to Liam on his wedding day.
Lightsleeper was recorded in Neil's Auckland studio with the Finns' friends and family: Sharon Finn – Neil's wife and Liam's mother, plays bass on two of the songs; Elroy Finn – Liam's brother, plays drums on seven; and good friend Connan Mockasin joins them for four of the tracks.
Mick Fleetwood plays on three of the tracks: 'Anger Plays A Part', 'Any Other Way' and 'We Know What It Means'.
Greek friends Elias Dendias and Spiros Anemogianis play bouzouki and accordion on the first single 'Back To Life'.
