Fresh from promoting the latest Broken Records album released at the end of last year, frontman Jamie Sutherland is once again venturing out on his own as he announces his new solo album The World As It Used To Be, out 6th September via Frictionless Music.

Having grown up listening to the likes of Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers, acclaimed Scottish musician Jamie Sutherland has always had an affinity with the Greenwich Village scene of New York and the songwriters synonymous with the area. With time away from Broken Records during the pandemic, he began writing songs with focus on the melody and lyrics, growing from a collection of stripped-back bare-bones songs to a beautiful and classic-sounding album. The result is his second solo record, entitled The World As It Used To Be, out 6th September via Frictionless Music. With mixing carried out by Tony Doogan (who has worked with Broken Records on numerous occasions) and mastering by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, the tone of the record is one that Jamie feels remains true to where the songs came from.
