Crowded House - 'Time On Earth' - Review

'Don't Stop Now', is the first release from the newly reformed Crowded House and is taken from their eagerly anticipated long player, 'Time On Earth', which is due for release on 2nd July 2007. The single, a hook filled gem that genuinely seems to get better with every listen, is reminiscent of many of Finn's uplifting, Beatlesque compositions. Lead guitar is supplied by the music industries hired gun of choice Johnny Marr, who adds his signature guitar playing throughout. The band have also recruited Beck's drummer Matt Sherrod into the fold, who has stepped nicely into Hester's shoes, giving the band an extra dynamic and lets hope some stability.

The single bodes well for the imminent arrival of the long player and is a definitely going to be one of the feel good hits of the summer.
