EP115 - So What's Been Happening? - Jamie Hutchings

NSW artist Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss, Infinity Broke) releases his sixth solo studio album A New, ahead a run of national tour dates early in 2024. A prolifically creative musician, Jamie Hutchings has built a career in the Australian scene that stretches back to the early 1990s.

He first established himself as the cornerstone of noisy indie-rock auteurs Bluebottle Kiss before embarking on a solo career with the release of The Golden Coach in 2002. If that wasn't enough to satiate his musical curiosities, Hutchings also formed the band Infinity Broke, releasing the first of their three albums in 2014 and using the framework of the group to venture even further into angular guitar art rock, with a strong through-line of inventive and repetitive rhythms and percussion.

Earlier this year Hutchings released his most experimental solo album, Making Water, a collage of rhythm and noise, drone and abstraction that explored free jazz, Krautrock and the kind of terrain inhabited by The Necks and late period Talk Talk. As Hutchings tends to do, he has pivoted again stylistically, returning to a more traditional sounding solo album with A New.
