Chet Faker Releases Emotional New Single ‘Far Side Of The Moon’ & Adds Second London Concert
Chet Faker recently released a poignant new single, “Far Side Of The Moon,” marking his first track since 2023’s “Something Like This.” This new song, coupled with an announcement for a second show in London in October, signifies a fresh chapter in the career of this renowned alt-pop artist. “Far Side Of The Moon” delves into the intense emotions of emotional burnout and love’s overwhelming nature, as Chet Faker, also known as Nick Murphy, artfully articulates the struggles of stretching oneself thin for the sake of love. The track is a blend of ethereal production and evocative introspection, showcasing Murphy’s ability to create music that is deeply personal yet universally resonant.
Despite beginning his musical journey in 2011 with the viral EP “Thinking In Textures,” Chet Faker has consistently pushed musical boundaries and reinvented himself. From earning awards for his breakout single “No Diggity” cover to his chart-topping debut album “Built On Glass,” Chet Faker has proven to be a dynamic force in the global music scene. His ability to deliver raw and heartfelt lyrics along with innovative production has garnered him critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. Over the years, Murphy has explored different musical styles, collaborating with various artists and releasing projects under his own name. His return in 2021 with the album “Hotel Surrender” reaffirmed his position as a genre-defying artist with a keen sense of musical evolution.
With “Far Side Of The Moon,” Chet Faker demonstrates that his creativity shows no signs of waning. The single combines introspective songwriting with a lush sonic landscape, creating an atmosphere that invites fans to reflect deeply while looking forward to what lies ahead. As anticipation for his return to UK stages reaches a peak, a second show at HERE at Outernet has been scheduled for October 24th. This additional show promises fans another chance to witness Chet Faker’s captivating live performances in an intimate setting, further solidifying his status as an exceptional live artist.
