Nick Murphy Announces Australian Headline Shows In Support Of New Album

In support of his forthcoming album, Run Fast Sleep Naked, Nick Murphy (FKA Chet Faker) has announced three special Australian headline shows. 

With the LP due out on 26 April (Murphy's first solo studio effort since 2014's critically-acclaimed debut Built On Glass), the multiple ARIA Award winner will then head out in May for gigs in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. 

Check out the lead single for the album, Sanity, below. 

"It’s almost like I was finding different shapes and colours from around the world, and then bringing them back and putting them all together,” Murphy said of recording Run Fast Sleep Naked.

"If you sit in one space for a long period of time, you get settled and stop experiencing the world in a new way.

“There’s a kind of power in leaping into the void without set structures and systems in place.”

As well as the headline dates, Murphy will perform at this year's Groovin The Moo events and BASSINTHEGRASS.

Tickets for the tour go on sale from midday local time on Tuesday 12 March. For a look at all of the dates and venues, click on theGuide or scroll down.
