0Elroy Finn On The Forthcoming “Elroy” Album, His Surprising Musical Influences & Future Plans
After years of touring and collaborating as a drummer and multi-instrumentalist in various groups (Wild Nothing, Connan Mockasin), as well as with his family (extensive worldwide touring with his brother Liam Finn and as part of Crowded House with father Neil Finn), Elroy Finn will release his long-awaited debut studio album on August 13, 2021 via the Grand Phony record label.
A talented multi-instrumentalist, this new album — self-titled and released under the single name of Elroy — was written, produced, recorded and mixed by Elroy Finn himself. The native New Zealander’s full-length has already earned tremendous critical praise, with New Zealand’s national newspaper Sunday Star Times noting the album as “acquiring layers of sounds and textures and falsetto vocal harmonies” that “gradually transforms into a sturdy wee slab of lo-fi psychedelia.”
