After returning in 2022 with “Break” the most recent Fazerdaze release was “Bigger” towards the end of 2023. Hopefully that means some further release from Fazerdaze is brewing in its own good time.

“Bigger” continues the Fazerdaze template of brilliantly simple ingredients: layering guitar melody over a bass-line, and adding introspective lyrics. The squarewave synth melody plus note-bending fuzz-guitar (maybe also synth?) solo in the chorus adds an unexpected leftfield hook.

While PopLib tends to champion the underdog and Fazerdaze has become an international star (currently playing in the US) PopLib first featured Fazerdaze back in 2014 when the first EP had it’s initial hand-made CD-R format release which Amelia Murray was selling at her solo Fazerdaze shows. It was clear right from the start that the low-key and personal music made a connection with listeners. That’s still the case 10 years on.
