Perhaps in response to the failed big production of
Big Canoe and the success of brother
Neil's back-to-basics outfit,
Crowded House,
Finn simplified his approach for his self-titled album, joining forces with
Crowded House producer
Mitchell Froom. A touching and intensely personal album,
Finn bares all, revealing self-doubts, regrets, and a failed relationship with intricate detail. And despite the subject matter, the album has an optimistic, uplifting overall tone, with tasteful adult-pop arrangements perfectly complementing his strongest melodies and finest songwriting to date. Though the sound and sentiments could have (and should have) easily found an audience in the emerging "adult alternative pop" format, the album went virtually ignored.
