Since the release of his breakthrough debut album, The Hipbone Connection, in the late 1990s, he has captivated audiences with his distinctive songwriting, raw musicality, and unforgettable performances. Now, after a decade away from releasing music, iOTA returns with the announcement of his long-awaited new album, Hours Disappear.
Set for release via MGM Distribution, the album will be available on Vinyl, CD, and on all streaming platforms. Self-produced by iOTA, the fully acoustic album brings together stripped-back versions of beloved classics such as Home Song, Bitter Wine, and Come Back For Me, alongside a handful of new songs – Silver Train, Same Three Words, and more – highlighting the depth and emotional weight of iOTA’s songwriting.
Alongside his celebrated music career, iOTA has become one of Australia’s most distinctive performers across theatre and film. He won a Helpmann Award, Sydney Critics Award, and Green Room Award for his starring performance as Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and went on to star as Dr Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror. His theatrical work has also included playing the Fallen Angel in Graeme Murphy’s Berlin with Sydney Dance Company, as well as co-writing and performing in the sell-out theatre production Smoke & Mirrors, winning three Helpmann Awards.
