Dreamers Are Waiting

This album may be warmly familiar in parts, but it also has an infectious energy

The first Crowded House album in 11 years can be seen as a homecoming of sorts.

Dreamers Are Waiting, the first album from Crowded House since 2010’s Intriguer, finds the band freshly crowded with a new lineup and a batch of songs that reflect the band’s maturity, both lyrically and musically.

Crowded House aren’t exactly the coolest name to drop in casual conversation. The kinda-Kiwi-but-formed-in-Melbourne outfit are perhaps too pleasant

'Dreamers Are Waiting' sees Crowded House relaxing into their new millennium renaissance. Pop music remains safe in their hands.

The band’s first album since 2010 is full of beautiful details and deceptive tonal shifts – a slow burn but worth the effort
