2021 is the year of album number three for Jamie Hutchings and Infinity Broke. Following River Mirrors (2014) and Before Before (2015), Your Dream My Jail is being readied for release in the coming months on the back of the current crowdfunding campaign which is currently running from April 1st until May 13th.
“It’s a wild, noisy, clattering and often psychedelic ride.” – Jamie Hutchings
Following nearly 15 years and six albums with Bluebottle Kiss and then his first three solo albums, Jamie re-entered the full band fray of noise, dissonance and melody with Infinity Broke, also featuring his brother Scott on guitar and percussion, Reuben Wills on bass and Jared Harrison (BBK, Peabody, Restless Leg) on drums. Their first two albums chronicled the band’s exploration of rhythm, tone, texture and the dynamic interplay between guitars and percussion. Songs rose to the surface and then dissolved into the sonic fabric of the music the quartet composed – a sublime balancing act of harmony and abrasion.
“Like Thurston Moore covering Neil Young’s Like A Hurricane in Dusseldorf” – The Music
Changes have occured within the Infinity Broke camp since the release of Before Before with drummer Jared Harrison amicably leaving the band. “He had to depart our ranks due to some serious back issues and having too many balls in the air. He remains part of the IB family,” explains Jamie. As a result, Scott Hutchings has shifted to drums as well as weighing in on two co-writes on guitar. The band are set to re-emerge on stage with an additional percussionist in tow, bringing new angles to their kinetic sound.
