It’s debatable whether or not Somebody Else – the stunning new record of prickly retro popand punchy rock from Phil Jamieson – is the Grinspoon frontman’s debut solo album. He did break out from the Grinners in the mid-2000s to steer The Lost Gospel, but Somebody Else is the first to bear his actual name. It’s also not entirely a solo album – as Jamieson tells Australian Guitar, producers Oscar Dawson (of Holy Holy) and Davey Lane (of You Am I) served the same role on this record that his bandmates in Grinspoon did on their seven albums, four EPs, so on and so forth.
So it’s not Jamieson’s first solo record, but it’s the first Phil Jamieson record, but it was made a three-piece supergroup… You keeping up?
Whatever the case,
