Chet Faker shares previously unreleased track ‘Bend’
The song was originally recorded during sessions for the Australian’s 2014 debut ‘Built on Glass’
Australian electronic musician Chet Faker has released a new track, ‘Bend’. Previously an unreleased cut, it was originally recorded during sessions for his 2014 debut album ‘Built on Glass’. It’s out on 26th June via Future Classic/Opulent.
Speaking about the song in a press release, Chet Faker says, “‘Bend’ was on ‘Built on Glass’ until the last minute. I recorded it in 2013 and kinda wanted to put it out since. It’s always felt like a part of ‘Built on Glass’ and since [the upcoming Australian] tour is the sort of live “director’s cut” of the album it made sense to release this before it lost context.”
