Jamie Hutchings is a prolific and creative musician who’s musical journey was established with noisy indie-rock auteurs Bluebottle Kiss in the early 1990’s. In 2002 he embarked on a solo career with the release of The Golden Coach album. If that wasn’t enough to satiate his musical curiosities, Hutchings formed another group Infinity Broke who in 2014 released the first of 3 albums. These albums demonstrated a firm grasp of angular guitar rock with a large dose of inventive and repetitive rhythms and percussion. In 2023 Jamie Hutchings released his most experimental solo album, Making Water, encompassing a collage of rhythm, noise, drone and abstraction. The music on the album explored free jazz, Krautrock and explored a similar musical universe as The Necks and late period Talk Talk.

Now Jamie’s back with his 6th solo album A New returning to a more traditional sound which he says is mostly about turning over a new leaf. With musical guests that include Clare Moore on vibraphone and Jamie’s Father Lee adding tenor sax on a couple of numbers, A New encapsulates all the different strands of Jamie’s musical past. The album represents a seamless sonic renewal of sorts for one of Australia’s most relentlessly adventurous and intelligent musicians.
