Chet Faker Returns With Stirring New Single ‘Far Side of the Moon’

Australian music icon Chet Faker has made his highly anticipated return with Far Side of the Moon, a heartbreakingly beautiful new single that marks his first release since 2023’s Something Like This.

Crafted by ARIA-winning artist Nick Murphy, the man behind the Chet Faker moniker, Far Side of the Moon is a three-minute masterclass in raw emotion and poetic storytelling. Blending soulful vocals with minimalist production, Murphy captures the disorientation and longing that come with love pushed to its limits. 

“It’s about stretching yourself too thin for someone you love to the point where it’s not healthy for the relationship at all.” – Chet Faker.

Since breaking through in 2011 with his acclaimed EP Thinking in Textures and viral cover of No Diggity, Murphy has built a career defined by constant reinvention. His debut album Built on Glass cemented him as one of Australia’s most celebrated artists, delivering hits like “Talk Is Cheap” and earning five ARIA Awards.

With over a billion streams to his name and collaborations with Flume and Marcus Marr under his belt, Chet Faker continues to evolve. Far Side of the Moon proves Murphy’s ability to channel vulnerability into transcendent soundscapes, heralding an exciting new chapter for the enigmatic artist.

Far Side of The Moon is available now, everywhere.
