Fazerdaze Returns With New 'Break!' EP

Prompting memories of the perfectly formed EPs Flying Nun Records used to drop on the regular, Fazerdaze aka Amelia Murray is back with her first collection of tunes in half a decade Break! Presenting five songs including firmly established hits 'Come Apart' and the title track, the EP also includes dreamy lo-fi hip hop jam 'Winter', psych / glam / fuzz newie 'Thick Of The Honey' and the emotive grungey punk-pop of 'Otherthink It'. Playing two celebratory events in Aotearoa marking a new era for Fazerdaze, Murray explained how her EP arose from a painful and transformative time for the artist (it was completed over three months "directly in the aftermath of a nine-year-long relationship"), which followed the global breakout success of her 2017 debut album Morningside...

"Because I was so private about the pain I was experiencing I called the EP 'Break!’ to reflect the way that I got myself out of the pain; by breaking, shouting for help, drawing a line and telling people around me that I’d had enough. It was an ugly but transformative time, and I made massive shifts forward in my life when I finally allowed myself to come undone. In this space of brokenness, I found power, freedom, a blank canvas. Break! is ultimately about surrender and acceptance of ugly truths."
