Feature Album of the Week: ‘Built on Glass’ – Chet Faker

 

“A physical kiss is nothing without it
And you close your eyes to see what it’s done
The body that lies is built up on looking
Cause all that remains before it’s begun”

(Chet Faker, ‘Gold’)

I’m constantly on the hunt for new and inspiring album’s to make my daily commute to uni just a tiny bit easier. And I’m sure others of you out there can relate. So each week I’m bringing you a personal recommendation from yours truly. I’ll try to mix it up, bringing you both recent releases as well as some old gems.

Chet Faker‘s latest album has quickly found a place in my heart; I’ve struggled to listen to anything else since its release this month. His smooth vocals and melodic tunes call back to his previous album ‘Thinking in Textures’ (2012), probably one of my most played records of all time. For those who’ve never given Chet a listen, I strongly urge you to give it a go. Particular highlights from the record include Gold, 1998 and Blush.
