Liam Finn's album 'The Nihilist' was released in 2014 via Yep Roc Records. The album's 12 tracks find Finn at his most refined and inventive in the studio, with other-worldly arrangements and blissfully catchy hooks.
Liam Finn, who plays 67 instruments on the record, maniacally assembled the album with contributions from frequent bandmates/collaborators Eliza Jane Barnes (vocals), his brother Elroy (drums) and fellow NZ songwriter Jol Mulholland (bass) in sessions entirely between the hours of sunset and sunrise in a Brooklyn studio overlooking the Manhattan skyline.
Liam Finn first caught the attention of American audiences with his debut solo album, 'I'll Be Lightning,' which earned him Artist to Watch accolades from The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Spin, Stereogum and more, along with performances on Letterman and Ferguson. Entertainment Weekly hailed his "effervescent choruses [and] swooning harmonies," while Billboard called the record a "charmer." He toured the world, sharing stages with the likes of Eddie Vedder, The Black Keys, and Wilco along the way, and in 2011, he released his follow-up, 'FOMO,' to further critical acclaim, with SPIN saying the album "blends sophisticated melodies and wistful vocals with masterful authority."
