Singer of songs from Edinburgh, Scotland – member of Broken Records (4AD,JSharp)
Renowned for his work as the leader of acclaimed Scottish band Broken Records (4AD, JSharp), Jamie Sutherland has broken out on his own to produce his debut solo album, Bruise, released in late 2020.
Recorded at Songbytoad’s HQ the “Happiness Hotel” through the Spring and Summer of 2017 with Meursault frontman Neil Pennycook (Meursault) producing, and featuring a band made up of members of Broken Records, Meursault, The Leg, Eagleowl, Stanley Odd and Siobhan Wilson, Bruise is an exploration of fatherhood, relationships and the changes in life that happen when you aren’t looking.
Sparse folk stylings and delicate pianos mingle with full band presentations of songs dressed in the trappings of classic, cinematic 60’s and 70’s folk song writing.
“Sutherland’s voice, swooping from pitch-perfect falsetto to sonorous baritone without missing a note.” (The Guardian)
