CHET FAKER レコード& CD

Review: Emerging with a series of cover versions and a Flume collaboration, Chet's rise has been supersonic. This is where his journey really took a turbo-boost. In case you missed it first time (or you've already worn your copy out) the freshly reissued Built In Glass is an expansive document into Chet's timeless world. Emphatic, emotional and rich in modern production, there's no faking soul like this... From the meandering keys and smoky, blurry whispers and Lidellian cries on "Melt" to the come-to-bed authority of "Talk Is Cheap" via the delicate insistence of "/", just as D'Angelo did in the 90s and Amp Fiddler did in the 00s, Faker is showcasing how soul is done with authority, rough-edged class and progressive focus in the modern age.
