New Zealand singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Amelia Murray, AKA Fazerdaze, has just announced her forthcoming EP Break! - out on vinyl 14th October via Flying Nun Records in NZ and AU.

Fazerdaze’s debut LP, 2017’s Morningside, launched her onto the global stage with rave reviews from publications like Pitchfork and Mojo and international tours. However, the culmination of unhealthy personal relationships, feelings of unworthiness regarding her newfound success and general mental exhaustion soon began to affect her creative life.

Amelia found she couldn’t finish a single song, until she finally allowed herself to break.

Break! was completed during a three-month-long lockdown in NZ while Amelia was living in solitude for the first time and directly in the aftermath of a nine-year-long relationship.

Amelia: "I wish I had broken earlier because it was one of the truest things I ever did for myself. This EP is about finally allowing myself to give up. It’s about severing from the people in my life that weren’t good for me and ditching the false parts of myself that were conditioned and not authentic. It’s everything I wasn’t allowing myself to feel over the past few years; angry, disappointed, cynical, exhausted and over it."

On the heels of her first single ‘Come Apart’, Amelia has released the title track and cathartic handicam video, evoking the song's ‘90s grunge-inflected roots.
