CHET FAKER will perform the 12-track album that’s become a soundtrack for a generation, and in addition to the complete Built On Glass album, he will also play a selection of his other hit tracks at Melbourne’s iconic Royal Botanic Gardens, for an incredible event you won’t want to miss.
A decade after its original release, Chet Faker’s 5 x ARIA winning (and 9 time nominee) seminal album Built On Glass is set to be reintroduced to the world with a special, expanded 10-year anniversary edition. Originally released in 2014, Built On Glass was the album that catapulted Chet Faker, the moniker of Melbourne-born musician Nick Murphy, into global stardom.
Built On Glass debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts, won the J Award Australian Album of the Year and was nominated for AIR Awards and the Australian Music Prize. The album had three songs in the Top 10 of 2014’s Triple J Hottest 100, with ‘Talk Is Cheap’ taking the #1 spot.
With the 10th Anniversary Expanded Edition, Chet Faker is offering fans a chance to revisit the iconic tracks that defined a generation. The digital and vinyl release will feature the original 12-song album, plus remixes, rarities and a collection of live performances from an early Built On Glass-era show at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney.
Chet Faker on the seminal record, “Built on Glass was an important record for me so I’m excited to finally repress it with this expanded edition and share several unreleased recordings from that era. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 years than to play the record in full in my hometown Melbourne in the Botanic Gardens – something I haven’t done before.”
