Try Whistling This

Try Whistling This is the debut solo album by the New Zealand singer/songwriter Neil Finn, released in 1998. It was produced by Finn, Tchad Blake, Marius De Vries, and Jim Moginie. The Japanese version of the album has a bonus track called "Tokyo", which also appears on the UK release of the single "Sinner". Special editions of the Australian CD contained a bonus CD with six extra tracks which were used as the B-sides for the singles released from the album. The album topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand, and also reached the top five of the UK Albums Chart.

Finn said a key inspiration for the album was the Beck album Mutations. He said: "I wasn't pretending to make a record like that, but I did like the fact that he was using computers and loops yet somehow it sounded like a garage band—there's a real skill to that."
