Crowded House's eighth studio album Gravity Stairs is now available to pre-order as an SDE-exclusive deluxe blu-ray audio edition, with four audio streams, including a Dolby Atmos Mix.

Produced by the band with Steven Schram, Gravity Stairs shows Crowded House in its current incarnation — Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom, and Finn's sons Elroy and Liam — as sharp as ever, feeling musically adventurous, and still capable of reaching the staggering highs that have made them an international favourite.

It's the act of climbing those figurative "gravity stairs," inspired by a heavy stone staircase near where Finn vacations, that he likens to his mindset as a creator. The Gravity Stairs are symbolic of the struggle to ascend, acknowledging the opposing forces of weight on the mechanics of living. It’s an act of will every day. 

The SDE-exclusive deluxe blu-ray audio edition features the 11-track album in the following versions:

• Dolby Atmos Mix
• 5.1 Mix (DTS-HD Master Audio) (48/24)
• Stereo Mix (PCM Stereo (48/24)
• Instrumental Mix (PCM Stereo 48/24)

The Atmos Mix was created by co-producer Steven Schram. Additionally, the blu-ray features two HD Videos:

• Oh Hi
• Life's Imitation

This deluxe blu-ray audio edition is limited to 2,000 units worldwide and includes a booklet, a series of five band member art cards (with beautiful artwork combining book carvings by Nick Seymour and mosaic portraits Sharon Finn) and a free, collectible SDE exclusive slipcase/box.
