Chet Faker

Hola!  Welcome to my first official post as the Music MATTador.  For those of you who don't know I have previously had my work posted on Greg Dries' blog (from Moods Photography- check him out!) in an attempt to spread my love of music to his devoted followers.  However, I have decided it is time to create my own page and see how you all like it!!

Please make a comment and let me know what you think!

 

After an extended lay off,  buried deep in the love of our new baby boy, the urge to pass on the amazing music I have been listening to lately has returned!
Hopefully I can make up for the delay by introducing you all to some truly amazing Australian and International artists,  artists that may open your eyes to a world of music not always delivered in the pretty packaging of commercial radio.

I would like to introduce you all to a very humble and unassuming gentleman that hails from our very own back yard, Melbourne.  He is only 22, (remarkable once you have heard him sing) and has one serious indie Beard!  


Nick Murphy as his friends know him, plays his unique blend of low fidelity minimalist sounds with gutsy lyrics under the alias "Chet Faker"!  His vocals are pure and honest and he delivers them with a beauty that can only be seen when an artist gets completely immersed in their music.  His live performances are gripping, as he takes you on the journey with him offering insights to his vulnerability and true emotions. The songs seem to be wrapped up in cotton wool and delivered as soulful yearning's straight from his heart.


Chet Faker is defiantly one to watch out for, only playing his first festival (South by South West no less) earlier this year and yet to release a full length album he is perfectly positioned to set the indie music world alight!  If you love listening to something different that screams originality then take the time to listen on some quality speakers (possibly with a glass of your favorite) and prepare to melt a little!

This clip was recorded live at South By South West (Austin Texas, USA) earlier this year and is called "I'm Into You".
