INFINITY BROKE - 'THIS MASTHEAD' ALBUM LAUNCH W/ THE ESCARPMENT // TRAPPIST AFTERLAND
INFINITY BROKE
Formed in 2013 by founding Bluebottle Kiss member Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Infinity Broke are a quartet that have been described by Rolling Stone Australia as ‘A powerful exercise in dissonance, rhythm, and melody’. The band’s two headed percussive approach (Scott Hutchings on drums/guitar and Tyrone Stevens on aux drums/percussion) alongside Jamie on guitar/vocals and Reuben Wills on bass has seen them hypnotise audiences all over the east coast, as well as throughout France where the band has toured twice. The group releases its fourth album ‘This Masthead’ on April 4th 2025 via Love As Fiction/Come To The Dark Side Luke Music.
Recorded over five days at Stranded Studios in Bellambi, NSW by Cody Moore and mixed by frontman Jamie Hutchings, This Masthead was inspired by rhythm-heavy jam sessions. Whilst a claustrophobic push and pull informs much of it, there are moments of ethereal beauty as well as lyrical rabbit warrens.

‘Infinity Broke have always thrived in that murky, experimental space and here, they push it even further, creating something that feels both raw and meticulously crafted’ Amnplify
‘Infinity Broke always have the demeanor of an out of control oil tanker plunging through a thunderstorm in a Tsunami: barely controlled chaos that manages to enthrall and hypnotise in a cotton wool cocoon while leaving you clutching your pearls with joy.’ Backseat Mafia
‘It all amounts to a swirling miasma of underground noise rock and post-punk dissonance that perfectly balances structure and free-form sonic expressionism.’ Doubtful Sounds
