Zan Rowe Double J can we hear the track on the 14th? It's Valentine's day after all.

NEWS: Sydney's Infinity Broke have announced that their new (4th) album This Masthead will be released on April 4th via Love As Fiction Records.

Preorder the album on vinyl and CD and dig into the various exclusive packages available (t-shirts, live recordings!) https://www.loveasfictionrecords.com.au/collections/infinity-broke

The band is the avant-rock project of Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss) and features Scott Hutchings (drums/guitar), Reuben Wills (bass) and new member aux-drummer-percussionist Tyrone Stevens.

Recorded at Stranded Studios in Bellambi, the album was mixed by Jamie (with additional assistance from Ben DeHoedt and Chris Colquhuon). The beginnings of the album saw the quartet recording rhythm heavy jam sessions, with Jamie taking them home and composing fully realised songs out of them. As a result, many of the songs started out with cataclysmic beats and mantric bass lines as their initial spark, rather than guitar and vocal skeletons.

Stay tuned for the release of the 1st single 'Abject Object' on Feb 14th. A gloriously dark, persistent, and rhythmically melodic bass pattern underpins Jamie's haunting and uneasy hypnotic incantations before squalls of slashing guitars swerve, clang, and careen across the speakers. It all amounts to a swirling miasma of underground noise rock and post-punk dissonance that perfectly balances structure and free-form sonic expressionism.

Wow. If you told me when i was 18 that Steve Hanft who made the Beck Loser clip (amongst other highly influential movies, music and skate vids) would be making my second music film clip - consisting of him riding a bicycle backwards for my new D.C Cross “International Bury The Hatchet Day” and handing it to me when i was older with grey hairs and playing Instrumental acoustic guitar, i would of done a backflip accompanied with trippy laughing for about 2 hours..but alas stranger things have happened, and like a dream, here it is.
Big love Steve, you are the wings beneath my winds.

CATCH O’ THE DAY!
Right on 20 years ago in 2004 Sydney-based indie rock outfit Big Heavy Stuff released their fourth (and sadly final) album ‘Dear Friends And Enemies’ on WA indie Redline Records, the meticulously-crafted opus featuring guest performances by friends including Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger) and Chris Abrahams (The Necks). It’s just been reissued on 2-LP vinyl for the 20th anniversary (its first ever time on wax) by another WA indie in Love As Fiction Records and it’s wonderful to have this fine album back in circulation - in a recent piece for The Music band member Nick Kennedy called it “our definitive statement” - so go back in time with Big Heavy Stuff, Aussie rock’n’roll of the highest calibre!
