Last summer beloved Australian songwriter and producer NICK MURPHY announced that he would ditch his musical alias CHET FAKER and start to release music under his own name. Following a few first tracks a few months back he now released a brand new EP called Missing Link, his first proper output since 2014’s Built On Glass album. The EP is lead by the KAYTRANADA single Your Time.

In a press statement MURPHY explains the change of name:

‘Chet Faker was me trying to prove something to myself but my tastes are pretty dynamic and I realized Ive spent time resisting that. Now I want to put everything in. Its not conceptual anymore. Its just me, and it made sense to show that in a name. It feels like a rediscovery.’

He also announced new tourdates which you can find below the new EP.

The reality of today can change in an instant. What felt real a moment ago, might only be a glimmer in the distant past seconds later. Change comes along. Inevitably.

Easier said than done, for sure. NBHAP author Annett Bonkowski asked an expert on that field for answers.

Luckily, this resulted in quite outstanding musical releases which gave us much needed comfort and distraction in these difficult times. Today, we're honouring the fifty records that meant the most to us in the past twelve months.
