Crowded House album release date!

No sooner do I mention that there's no release date for Crowded House's new album than NME goes and announces it. Well, don't I feel silly. July 2! Mark your calendars!

The 14-song LP, entitled 'Time On Earth', was recorded with Kings of Leon producer Ethan Johns in Auckland, New Zealand.

The full tracklisting is:

'Nobody Wants To'
'Don't Stop Now'
'She Called Up'
'Say That Again'
'Pour Le Monde'
'Even A Child'
'Heaven That I'm Making'
'Silent House'
'English Trees'
'Walked Her Way Down'
'Transit Lounge'
'You Are The One to Make Me Cry'
'A Sigh'
'People Are Like Suns'

The band are due to appear at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this Sunday (April 29) - stay tuned to NME.COM for news and blogs straight from this year's event.

Meanwhile the band will co-headline Hyde Park Calling on June 23 and the Outsider Festival in Scotland the following day.

'Time On Earth' is released on July 2.

Ignore the bit about Ethan Johns being "Kings of Leon producer" since that's not much to brag about - replace "Kings of Leon" with "Ryan Adams and Rufus Wainwright" and you'll feel much better about the record. And actually, I'm pretty sure I knew the record was called Time On Earth, but I forgot. Here's hoping it's half as good as Neil's two solo albums.

And now, because YouTube is fun, the completely retarded video for one of my favorite songs, Something So Strong (just push play and go about your business):
