A truly ANZAC album. New Zealand-Australian rock band Crowded House in 1988 gave us Temple of Low Men.
The second studio album by Crowded House, was released by Capitol Records on 5 July 1988.
The three band members, Neil Finn, Nick Seymour and Paul Hester, recorded the album in Melbourne and Los Angeles with Mitchell Froom as producer.
Finn had written all ten tracks during the two years since their self-titled debut. Temple of Low Men peaked at number one in Australia, number two in New Zealand, number ten in Canada and number 40 on the US Billboard 200.
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1989 the group won four categories: Album of the Year and Best Group for Temple of Low Men; Best Cover Art for Seymour's work; and Song of the Year for "Better Be Home Soon".
This album is full of Sunday morning/afternoon session sing-a-longs. Check it out below on Apple Music or wherever you choose to stream your tunes. I forgot with the recent Paul Mac post to link to the second part of my Best Australian albums of the 80's-NOW!. So here you go. We are almost in Part Three. Whilst in April Part Four will be rapid fire over the Easter/April Holiday period.
