Nick Murphy's new album Run Fast Sleep Naked was released last month to critical acclaim around the world and, next week, he brings his riveting live show and massive international tour--headlining over 40 dates on three continents--to North America. All tour dates are listed below and tickets links can be found here!
Run Fast Sleep Naked is a bold and dynamic body of work and shows an artist who is always pushing boundaries. Murphy spent four years traveling the world solo with a microphone in his suitcase, recording his vocal tracks in whichever spaces and environments most inspired him. During that time, he immersed himself in intense self-examination, a process aided by his reading of Joseph Campbell's theories of the artist's shaman-like role in modern society. Run Fast Sleep Naked is a hypnotically candid document of that searching, an album equally informed by constant questioning and steadily arriving at fragments of truth. Co-produced with Dave Harrington, it's out now via Downtown / Future Classic / Opulent. Stream / order the album here: http://smarturl.it/RFSN.
Murphy recently released the official video for "Dangerous," a track TIME Magazine recently named one of the best of the week, noting that it "is multi-layered and experimental, but maintains an acoustic heartbeat and a measured, reflective tone." The video, directed by Najeeb Tarazi, was filmed in the Southern California desert and reflects the urgency of the song's music and lyrics. Watch it here: http://smarturl.it/NMDangerous/YouTube.
Run Fast Sleep Naked is the latest in a series of widely acclaimed releases from the singer / producer / multi-instrumentalist, including Built on Glass-a platinum-selling effort that won him seven ARIA Music Awards including Best Male Artist and Producer of the Year, and lead to him playing sold out shows on five continents; appearing at major international festivals including Coachella and Glastonbury; performing on television internationally includingThe Ellen DeGeneres Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live!; and seeing his music videos receive hundreds of millions of views, including over 190 million views alone for his MTV VMA-nominated video for "Gold," directed by Hiro Murai (Atlanta).
