To celebrate the recent Crowded House reunion shows, reposting this great early episode about the Crowdies' second album:

Golden Guitar winning and ARIA nominated producer/musician Matt Fell (Tim Freedman, John Williamson) joins host Jeremy Dylan for a breathless exploration of Temple of Low Men, an underrated album by the best band of the 80s - Crowded House.

Along the way, they break down classic tracks I Feel Possessed, Into Temptation, Sister Madly, Better Be Home Soon, Kill Eye and When You Come, delve into how Neil Finn’s lyrics can hit too close to home for some, the genius of producer Mitchell Froom, the underplaying of Nick Seymour and Paul Hester and why Neil Finn is a funk-soul brother.

My Favorite Album is a podcast unpacking the great works of pop music.
