Chet Faker : Archangel
0 Comments. 353 Views. Posted 9 Jan 2013 @ 6:27am.
Taken from a forthcoming live EP, Chet Faker’s latest single is a minimalist cover of Burial’s Archangel. Chet slows things down in the song’s first half, delivering a raw, crooning vocal; emphasising the soul in this new soul dub step tune. At the halfway point, the band kicks in with skittering instrumental parts and a simmering rhythm, but their jazz rock flow feels a little hokey. The whole... Read More

What characters we were. The local chapters of the Turbojugend with their fantastic embroidered denim jackets. The bindi-sporting girls with seapunk-turquoise hair and acute bangs. The kooks in their animal costumes. The babes with their resplendent floral headgear. The wide-eyed teens taking off on their maiden Meredithian journey. The hardened rock dogs clutching a perpetual tinny. All very... Read More

Chet Faker @ The Toff In Town

  Chet Faker is two things: a beard and a voice. According to his publicist, the much-feted electro artist hails from Melbourne’s “tight-knit disco and house music scene” (the first rule of Melbourne’s tight-knit disco and house music scene is you do not talk about Melbourne’s tight-knit disco and house music scene) but there is little trace of these roots in his sound. There are beats, for... Read More

It was happenstance, and a latent passion for Chet Baker’s twisted, tortured and emotive brand of jazz that led Melbourne musician Nick Murphy to adopt the name Chet Faker as the nom de plume for his electronic-beat-pop outfit. While Murphy is adamant that Chet Faker is largely Nick Murphy under a convenient pseudonym, he does concede that it’s reasonable to assume Chet Faker is an alternative... Read More

Lost Animal : Lose The Baby

With the recent international success of local acts Twerps, Husky and Chet Faker it's mind-boggling that Jarrod Quarrell is yet to make a mark overseas. Quarrell, formerly of St Helens, is arguably one of Melbourne's finest contemporary artists. Lose The Baby is a gentle, lush track and the unambiguous standout of our 2011 Album of the Year Ex Tropical. Over gentle keys Quarrell croons that "I'm... Read More

  Straddling a smooth groove between electro and soul, Melbourne’s Chet Faker ambles into the spotlight with Terms & Conditions, the first single from his forthcoming Thinking in Textures EP. Crooning in a rough, strained, post-Al Green kind of way, the mysterious Chet (real name, intentions, unknown) explores the classic soul themes of heartbreak and desire while his music ticks and...
