Nick Murphy has just released his Dangerous EP, featuring 4-versions of one of his acclaimed second album Run Fast Sleep Naked‘s key singles. The track was praised by Time Magazine as being “multi-layered and experimental, but maintains an acoustic heartbeat and a measured, reflective tone.” The EP features remixes from frequent collaborators Cleopold and Marcus Marr, as well as the track’s demo.

Nick Murphy‘s latest album Run Fast Sleep Naked was released earlier this year to critical acclaim around the world. The album, co-produced with Dave Harrington, 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.
