Liam Finn has always followed his own path, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a singer-songwriter. From his early days in Betchadupa, to his electrifying one-man performances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Later… With Jools Holland, and now as a key member and co-writer in Crowded House, Liam has consistently embraced innovation and reinvention. His latest solo release, Hyperverse, is no exception — a bold exploration of creativity that invites fans directly into the songwriting and recording process. The genesis of Hyperverse began in 2021 after a solo show in Auckland reignited Liam’s love for the energy of live improvisation. Realizing he had never truly captured that raw, adrenalized spontaneity in the studio, he turned to Twitch, streaming over 333 hours of music-making to an audience of over 1.5 million viewers The result is a collection of 10 tracks crackling with energy, irreverence, and innovation — each song reflecting the high-stakes immediacy of its creation. Among them is an alternate version of “The Howl”, a standout track from Crowded House’s 2024 album Gravity Stairs. Liam has spent the last few years writing and recording both for his solo project and Crowded House coupled with extensive touring, including two high-profile opening slots for Pearl Jam in New Zealand. This blurring of the lines between live performance and studio recording is captured perfectly on the Hyperverse and represents his most personal and ambitious work to date. Now, for the first time Hyperverse will be available as a physical release for RSD 2025 on April 12th. This “Deluxe” version comes in a 24-page booklet archiving the recording process for the album.
