Run Fast Sleep Naked is out now on Downtown/Future Classic/Opulent

Nick Murphy‘s highly-anticipated new album, Run Fast Sleep Naked is out today. The new album is the long-awaited follow-up to the Aussie’s 2014 breakthrough debut, Built on Glass, which he released as Chet Faker.

Run Fast Sleep Naked was first teased in March with the dual single/video release of “Sanity” and was later followed by “Dangerous.” To make the album, Murphy spent four years traveling the world solo with a microphone in his suitcase, recording his vocal tracks in whichever spaces and environments most inspired him. During that time, he immersed himself in intense self-examination, a process aided by his reading of Joseph Campbell’s theories of the artist’s shaman-like role in modern society.

With its penetrating songwriting and kaleidoscopic palette, Run Fast Sleep Naked is a hypnotically candid document of that searching, an album equally informed by constant questioning and steadily arriving at fragments of truth.
