Tim Finn discusses new album. 'Imaginary Kingdom' tackles weighty subjects
Tim Finn will release his latest solo effort, 'Imaginary Kingdom', in the US on April 24.
The former member of Split Enz and honourary member of Crowded House was about to embark on a tour of the UK and Europe supporting the new album when he caught up with NME.COM.
"I was touring a lot with my brother Neil, and during the breaks in the tour, new songs just kept coming through. So I had 23 songs I started demoing," Finn explained.
Finn wrote most of the album in his native New Zealand, which he said had a distinct influence on its sound. "Gertrude Stein said, 'People are the way their land and sky is.' I think that's true. Most of my writing was influenced by New Zealand's land, light, air and water.
"I wanted to give people the feeling they get when stepping onto a beach," he said.
Finn said he wrote the song 'Salt To The Sea' for Split Enz and Crowded House former drummer Paul Hester, who took his own life in 2005 after battling with depression.
"'Salt To The Sea'' was very much a song for Paul," Finn said. "He lived in my house when I was away in England and we all miss him terribly.
"Each song has its own story, but it's mostly about the fact that the song is still leading me on. I love the form."
As previously announced, Finn will perform with his brother Neil as part of the newly reunited Crowded House at the Coachella Festival in Indio, California on April 29. He will soon announce the dates of a solo US spring tour.

Linkin Park name new album. 'Minutes To Midnight' is released in May
Linkin Park are set to release their new album 'Minutes To Midnight' on May 14.
The album will be the first new material from the band since 2003's 'Meteora'.
Frontman Chester Bennington declared the LP would change the way people think about the band.
He said: "What people have known Linkin Park as, and how they will know them as when they first hear the album ... that's going to change. The way we've been classified, and how people think they know us, that's all going to die."
Speaking about the concept behind the album he told MTV News: "The title is a reference to the Doomsday Clock, which was created by these scientists at the University of Chicago after the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan to end World War II.
"Given the idea that mankind now had this ultimate destructive power, they were contemplating what the repercussions of this would be and the idea and the idea that the end of the world could be imminent."
Bennington also had high praise for the new track 'The Little Things You Give Away', saying it was "the pinnacle of what we can achieve as a band...(it will) touch people in a way Linkin Park haven't touched people before... It's a huge explosion of sound, over six minutes long, and it's truly, completely amazing. And I can't wait for people to hear it".
The album is co-produced by band member Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin.
A release date has yet to be confirmed.

Velvet Revolver complete second album. Scott Weiland to release solo album too.
Velvet Revolver have announced details of their second album 'Libtertad'.
The follow up to 2004's 'Contraband' was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who worked with frontman Scott Weiland during his stint in Stone Temple Pilots.
Speaking about working with O'Brien, Weiland said: "He has really helped the guys challenge themselves on a musical level. ('Libertad') definitely still rocks, but it's incredibly more musical. There's a lot more textures, and Slash and Duff (McKagan) have really sort of risen the bar. It just goes places that the first album didn't go."
Weiland added the band want to work with The Clash legend Mick Jones too.
He said: "We wanted to work with him with Velvet Revolver, but we didn't get the chance to do it. So I'm thinking about getting a hold of him, working on a track or two."
Weiland is also finishing work on his solo album, which he hopes to released before the end of the year.
He told MTV News: "It kind of goes all over the map like the first one, but a bit more focused because I'm not using drugs anymore. It had a little bit of Latin jazz, some R&B oriented stuff, some stuff with beats. There's some stuff that's really kind of out there. I'm into creating sounds, but it's all about melody, really."
