Chet Faker Shares New Single ‘Over You’ Ahead of 2026 Australian Tour

Catch Chet Faker performing live in Adelaide at A Day In The Gully next month.

Just over two weeks out from the release of Chet Faker’s highly anticipated new album, A Love For Strangers (out Friday 13 February via BMG), the singer-songwriter has shared new single ‘Over You’.

The opening track to his new album follows the previously released singles ‘Far Side of the Moon’, ‘Inefficent Love’, ‘This Time For Real’ and ‘Can You Swim?’, and explores the breakdown of a relationship, with Faker’s soothing vocals floating over the downtempo beat.

The song is accompanied by a music video directed by Jesse Cain and Faker, aka Nick Murphy, that finds the creative riding in the back of a pickup across the American desert.

To celebrate the release of his third album under the Chet Faker moniker, Murphy is performing shows across Australia, Europe and North America from February to July.

The Australian leg of the tour begins in Adelaide at the new festival A Day In The Gully on Saturday 28 February. Dates follow at Melbourne’s Riviera Beach Club on Sunday 1 March, Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Tuesday 3 March, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Wednesday 4 March and Perth’s Ice Cream Factory on Friday 6 March.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now at chetfaker.com.

Nick Murphy has been a mainstay of the Aussie indie electronic scene for close to 15 years. He first came to national attention under the alias Chet Faker with his cover of Blackstreet’s ‘No Diggity’ in 2012.

He followed up his debut EP, Thinking in Textures, in 2014 with his first studio album, Built on Glass. The record went straight to #1 on the ARIA Album Chart and collected five ARIA Awards, including Best Independent Release and Best Male Artist.

Murphy has released five albums in total, two under his alias Chet Faker and three as Nick Murphy, with his most recent being 2021’s Take in the Roses.
