Tim Amanda Brown's debut solo album Eight Guitars, is a unique and brilliantly produced album. Browns soft and gentle vocals are soothing throughout and they perfectly compliment the overall dream like mood of each song. The album also features a great cover of The Church's Unguarded Moment. My favourite track is 1973. ARIA album of the year? Indeed. Well that's what I think. 😊🎧🎸🎤 Favorite track: 1973.

Hassles It's a difficult question to answer but I think its Amanda's vocal delivery that moves me most. Amazing concept. Eight guitar players and amazingly cohesive end result. Awesome album!

about

Amanda Brown is a screen composer, songwriter and musician. The first stage of her career was spent playing in bands- most notably The Go Betweens - with whom she toured the world and recorded two albums - Tallulah and 16 Lovers Lane. Amanda has played with a range of artists including R.E.M, silverchair, Youth Group and The Apartments and shared the bill with many others including The Neville Brothers, Alex Chiltern, Marianne Faithful, Deborah Harry and John Cale.

In recent years Amanda has been writing music for the screen, scoring feature films Babyteeth and Here Out West and drama series including The Secrets She Keeps, Underbelly Vanishing Act and Deadloch.


8 Guitars is her first solo album of songs.


These songs were written over a long period of time - some are from films while others were composed during periods between screen commissions. In 2020 facing the prospect of both the music and film industries shutting down due to the pandemic, the time seemed right to bring 8 Guitars to fruition.


Each song features a different guest guitarist drawn from a pool of regular collaborators and friends. Guitarists were not chosen for their virtuosity (although they are all certainly brilliant players) but for their unique style and sound. 8 Guitars features Kirin J Callinan, Damien Lane, Danny Widdicombe, Brendan Gallagher, Bruce Reid, Shane O'Mara and Daniel Champagne. The album was produced by Tony Buchen - who describes it as 'Cosmic Americana' - and it is scheduled for release in early in 2023.
