"Locked Out" is Crowded House kicking up more dust than usual, a Neil Finn song from the band's fourth album, Together Alone, from 1993. Youth produced, and the band sounds loose and hungry: Finn's guitar and voice out front, Mark Hart doubling on guitar and keyboards, Nick Seymour's bass and Paul Hester's drums pushing hard, Geoffrey Hales adding percussion, and Hart, Seymour and Hester all pitching in on backing vocals. Bob Clearmountain mixed it.
Capitol put it out as a single in 1994, and it also turned up on the soundtrack of Reality Bites. In Britain it did better than any other single from the album, reaching 12, while Australia was far cooler on it. Zanna directed the video on location in Wales and England.
