Sunday Spotlight: Chet Faker

Nicholas James Murphy is often known as Chet Faker. In 2012, as Chet Faker, he issued an extended play, Thinking in Textures, this included the classic cover of Blackstreet's No Diggity. 

Following the debut EP, in April 2014, Built on Glass, his debut studio album, was released to generally positive reviews and debuted at number one on the Australian ARIA Charts.

Back in September 2016, Murphy dropped the Chet Faker name, releasing two albums alongside the brilliant Missing Links EP.

In October 2020, Murphy revived Chet Faker commencing work on releasing his Hotel Surrender record. First up was the single, Low. The album was released on Friday alongside Tones and I's big debut album. So sadly the album will probably not get the attention it may deserve. However its here, we have time, so get around the new ten track record below. 

Its an all Australian feature week this week, into next with DZ Deathrays, Chet Faker today and tomorrow Tones and I. Gosh there is some EPIC Aussie music in 2021! Look forward to the ARIA nominations for 2021.
