Somebody Else is the debut solo studio album by Grinspoon frontman, singer songwriter Phil Jamieson, released in July 2022 via Cheersquad Records & Tapes.

Somebody Else is the first solo album by Phil Jamieson, the frontman, singer, songwriter, guitarist for Grinspoon. That band, as you know, sold a big pile of records back in the day, and Somebody Else sees Jamieson making his own musical stamp in the here and now.

As that doyen of the arts, Tim Rogers, says of it: "Phil’s puckish performance style is underscored by a voice that can turn choirboy or demon’s spawn in a blinding grin. This has at times overshadowed his humour and empathy, but no more. Teasing open his lapels to show heart and scars, but also hope, and the lessons learnt from throwing yourself into this art that compels and damns us. Pop music with fire and finesse."

Phil has been working on his solo career for some years. Indeed, some of his ‘new’ material pre-dates his role in the Australian stage production of American Idiot. He has, however, up until now been nervous to christen it with an album.

The long gestation of the album’s first single shows something of the struggle: “It was born at Blueys Beach a few moons ago. It started life as a slinky Rolling Stones-type jam – with a bit more strut. Then Oscar Dawson of Holy Holy got his hands on it and changed it around, then I redid it as a dream pop major seventh sort of thing. That didn’t work, so I went back to Oscar, and we redid it in July/August last year, in an industrial area of Dandenong situated at the end of a cul-de-sac surrounded by Boats/Solar/Brothels.”

This album is a limited edition on white coloured vinyl with a printed insert and download code, pressed in Australia via Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
