“A night of wicked wit and disarming tenderness from the polymath songwriter Clash brings the house down Louder Than War”
TimMinchinTimeMachine Album Launch
Wednesday 13 August 2025 – The Grand Electric, Sydney

.

Following the releases of “Ruby”, “The Song of The Masochist”, “I Wouldn’t Like You” and “You Grew On Me”, multi-award-winning musician, writer and performer Tim Minchin today unveils his new album TimMinchinTimeMachine, out now via BMG. Listen HERE.

A standout moment from the record, “Not Perfect” is a tender, bittersweet whimsical song of optimism and acceptance of the world’s – and our own – imperfections. With Minchin’s signature blend of lyrical elegance and wit, the track moves effortlessly between the cosmic and the personal, capturing the strange, flawed beauty of being human. Originally written during a period of creative uncertainty, the song has since become a fan favourite. Watch the official video for “Not Perfect” HERE.

Tim Minchin said: “In the category “lyrics I’ve written that people have tattooed on their bodies”, the line “it’s not perfect but it’s mine” is – as far as I can tell – the most common! “Not Perfect” was the encore for my very first Edinburgh show, “Dark Side” back in 2005, and it has had many iterations since, including the widely viewed orchestral version arranged by Iain Grandage. I have often introduced it with the line “this is a song about that feeling you get when you feel like the smallest doll in a Babushka Doll”, because it’s about being a self inside a mind inside a body inside a house inside a solar system. This studio version is a rethink: somewhere in between the intimacy of the solo version and the grandeur of the symphony orchestra… what I think of as a kinda campfire version. Plenty of acoustic guitar, and not too much drama. I like it.”

TimMinchinTimeMachine is a curated collection of songs Minchin wrote in his 20s (1995-2005), but which were never studio recorded. Containing 11 tracks, the album reveals the clever lyricism, emotional candour and biting humour for which Minchin has become known in the last 20 years.

The release follows Minchin’s acclaimed 2020 debut studio album Apart Together, described by The Independent as “a tenderly considered pop album that subverts expectations” (★★★★).

Fresh off a sold-out three-night residency at London’s Eventim Apollo and critical acclaim for his nationwide Songs The World Will Never Hear UK tour, Minchin returns home to Australia where he will celebrate the release of TimMinchinTimeMachine with an exclusive album launch event at The Grand Electric, Sydney on Wednesday 13 August. The intimate evening will feature a candid Q&A about the making of the record and the 20-year journey to its release, followed by a short solo performance. Tickets are on sale now.

Minchin will then hit the road again for an extensive run of shows this October to December, with dates in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Newcastle, Sydney, Gold Coast and Toowoomba.
