A Love For Strangers - Forest Green Vinyl (LP)

Let there be distance — and the courage to cross it.

A Love for Strangers marks a turning point for Nick Murphy. His first release as Chet Faker in four years steps beyond the familiar, opening into wider, more searching territory.

The sound moves under low light — saxophones glow, rhythms breathe, and melodies carry echoes of another era. There are traces of late-night pop and patient songwriting, woven into something fluid and present.

Across twelve songs, Murphy sits with heartbreak and uncertainty without rushing to resolution. These are reflections on connection — how we reach for one another, how we miss, and what it might take to repair what frays between us and the world we inhabit.

This is music that doesn’t demand answers.

It offers space instead.

And within that space, a quiet, necessary hope.

Let there be listening.

Let there be honesty.

Let there be love, even for strangers.
