New Zealand singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fazerdaze has announced her first body of work in five years, with her Break! EP slated to arrive in October. The new EP is Amelia Murray’s first collection of new music since her debut album, Morningside.
Fazerdaze kicked off her comeback with last month’s ‘Come Apart’. She’s now shared the official music video for the forthcoming EP’s title track, which you can watch below.
Fazerdaze – ‘Break!’
‘Break!’ is a playful and powerful track that maintains the ’90s-inspired shoegaze and grunge sounds that helped Fazerdaze build a fanbase to begin with. The track is the culmination of a few years of downtime for Murray, who utilised her home in Auckland as something of a sanctuary while coming to terms with unhealthy personal relationships, imposter syndrome, and mental exhaustion.
After a period of difficulty in moving forward with her music, it wasn’t until Murray relinquished the notion of resilience that she was able to break into a new personal and artistic era. “I wish I had broken earlier because it was one of the truest things I ever did for myself,” Murray said in a statement. “This EP is about finally allowing myself to give up.”
She continued, “It’s about severing from the people in my life that weren’t good for me, and ditching the false parts of myself that were conditioned and not authentic. It’s everything I wasn’t allowing myself to feel over the past few years; angry, disappointed, cynical, exhausted and over it.”
Break! is set for release on Friday, 14th October.
