Hours Disappear

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 on September 25, 2026, 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.
