As recently intimated on social media, the musician Chet Faker has forgone his alias and will now write, produce, record and perform under his real name, Nick Murphy - symbolising a significant musical evolution for the artist.
Today he shares a preview of this new sound on the track 'Fear Less', an electrifying mix of past and new influences.
Nick Murphy is set to perform a dynamic new show, pulling from his existing catalogue and showcasing new material at his forthcoming Pitchfork Festival Paris performance on 27th October and at his London Brixton Academy show on 9th November.
Murphy's achievements as Chet Faker are great and varied. His critically acclaimed debut album 'Built On Glass' was a commercial success upon its release in spring 2014, reaching platinum sales status. BBC Radio 1 have consistently supported both his solo releases and his recent collabs with Marcus Marr. He's a serious player internationally, selling out headline tours and playing major festivals throughout Europe, Asia and North America including main sets at Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Coachella and more.
