Having premiered overnight as a World Record on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, Nick Murphy is thrilled to share a new single titled ‘Dangerous’ today. Run Fast Sleep Naked is due out this Friday 26 April via Future Classic and is Feature Album all this week on triple j. The new album will mark Murphy’s first full length release since his globally acclaimed debut Built on Glass (released as Chet Faker).
LISTEN TO ‘DANGEROUS’ HERE
The new single comes after Murphy continued to tease his forthcoming album last week, sharing a live version of album track ‘Message You At Midnight’. The video was filmed in Upstate New York and directed by Kyle Keese.
Known for his compelling and captivating live show, Murphy recently announced details for a massive international tour where he will headline over 40 shows across three continents throughout 2019. Kicking off this Friday, Nick will play the Groovin The Moo regional tour and three headline tour dates in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney. Tickets are still available here.
ABOUT RUN FAST SLEEP NAKED
Run Fast Sleep Naked was announced last month with the release of soulful lead single “Sanity”–a track that was written at Rick Rubin´s Shangri-La studio and brings bright piano melodies, off-kilter beats, and radiant synth lines to Murphy’s unflinchingly self-aware lyrics. Watch the official video, directed by BabyBaby and filmed in the Canary Islands, here.
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.
Run Fast Sleep Naked is the latest in a series of widely acclaimed releases from the singer / producer / multi-instrumentalist, including Built on Glass—a platinum-selling effort that won him seven ARIA Music Awards including Best Male Artist and Producer of the Year, and lead to him playing sold out shows on five continents; appearing at major international festivals including Coachella and Glastonbury; performing on television internationally including The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live!; and seeing his music videos receive hundreds of millions of views, including over 185 million views alone for his MTV VMA-nominated video for “Gold,” directed by Hiro Murai (Atlanta).
