Urthboy is Tim Levinson, a hip-hop MC and producer out of New South Wales with a habit of running several jobs at once. He was a founding member of The Herd, and he co-founded and runs Elefant Traks, the label that has put out his own records, so he has been both the talent and the guy signing the checks.
The Signal, his second solo album, came in 2007 and gave him "We Get Around", a restless, road-dusty track that made a hip-hop record sit easily beside the guitar bands on the countdowns. He kept going: Spitshine, Smokey's Haunt, and then in 2016 The Past Beats Inside Me Like a Second Heartbeat, whose "Long Loud Hours" showed a writer who had grown more reflective without going soft. His version of Meg Mac's "Roll Up Your Sleeves" charted too, a reminder that he can pull someone else's song into his own orbit.
Six solo albums in all, the most recent being Savour in 2023, plus five more with The Herd.
