Unreleased songs by late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence will feature on a new documentary soundtrack. Mystify, based on the life and career of the group’s co-founder, premieres at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival this month. Petrol Records and Universal Music Group have teamed up to accompany the film with unheard material by the singer who tragically took his own life in 1997. Christopher M Murphy, chairman and founder of Petrol Records said: “The appeal of INXS wasn’t just confined to writing great songs or playing some of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. They always had their collective antennae up to the latest trends – whether they be music, fashion or technology – and that’s given their brand a fresh and lasting outlook. Their legacy is growing every day, and a new generation of fans from around the world are discovering INXS through streaming. We are entering an exciting period of rediscovery of their legacy and a reassessment of their place in music history.”
Mystify takes its lead from Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody and Elton John’s upcoming Rocketman project. “There will be many insights revealed about Michael’s life and his music, which will create interesting conversations,” added Murphy. “Movies like Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star Is Born remind us of the extraordinary contributions that are made to popular culture when movies and music are creatively intertwined, and I am proud to say Mystify will be another great example.”
Giles Martin, the man behind recent INXS reissues, is creative director of Mystify’s music.
