COLD FEET
Winding down after a beautiful summer at Piha beach in west Auckland,
New Zealand, Liam Finn had accomplished writing 10 songs for his
long-awaited second album.
In such artistic and hypnotic surroundings, the completed album will
undoubtedly introduce us all to a new side of Liam Finn.
Cold Feet is a quintessential example of those surroundings at play says
Liam , "I've never written with nostalgic ideas in mind, but I started
playing that old 60's R&B-soul kind of strum and these chords reminded
me of a Tim Burton movie.... it kept sticking in my head. And it stayed
there for a couple of months, so I finally sat down and wrote the song."
It's been four years since the release of 2007's 'I'll Be Lighting' and
times have changed, but Liam Finn has progressed with those times and
has arisen as an initiator, and a luminary local artist that has made
good abroad...
And for good reason:
18 dates throughout the USA in March/April including SXSW performances
Sold Out dates in the UK in April with more shows to be announced due to
popular demand
"Excellent, poppy-rock-with-a-dark-soul" - BILLBOARD.COM
"the only thing in the room that could even compete with Finn's restless
energy was his impressive talent as a musician." - POP MATTERS
Cold Feet is the lead single from Liam's sophomore album FOMO (Fear Of
Missing Out) and the prelude to what can only be described as his most
accomplished work to date.
Cold Feet is available to download on itunes from Monday 2nd May.
FOMO is released in NZ on the 10th June.
