Crowded House have announced the release date and title of their new album.

Entitled 'Intriguer', the follow-up to 2007's 'Time On Earth', will be released on June 14 by Mercury Records.

Produced by Jim Scott, the title for the group's six studio album was inspired by a shadowy figure seen behind the curtains at a Sydney hotel, by frontman Neil Finn in 2001.

Meanwhile, the band will head out on a European tour next month, which ends with an appearance at the Isle Of Wight festival on July 12.
