Vinyl LP pressing. In a society where being strong and resilient is often held up like a badge of honor, it's much, much harder to acknowledge when enough is enough - to accept when it's time to let go. It's a truth that New Zealand singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Amelia Murray, AKA Fazerdaze, has spent years wrangling with, but one whose story thankfully comes with an empowering punchline of personal reclamation. Finishing up touring for her debut, breakout record Morningside at the end of 2018, Amelia speaks of a deep sense of burn out and, more than that, of feeling the Inchwheels starting to come offInch in her general life. And so, whilst 'Break!' with it's '90s-indebted fuzzy guitars and lyrical moments of clarity (InchSomething's gotta give/ Something's gotta change/ You're just trying to live/ I'm just gonna breakInch goes the title track) could feel like an EP full of tension, the reality is one of extreme, vital . Embracing the cathartic power of plugging in her guitar and harking back to her love of bands like Blur and Nirvana, the new Break! EP from Fazerdaze is an air-punch purge in musical form, marking an important reintroduction to an essential artist of our times. Album Tracks 1. Break! 2. Winter 3. Thick of the Honey 4. Come Apart 5. Overthink It 6. Flood Into

Have the Pains made the kind of record that will matter to the kind of people to whom records still matter? From the opening explosions of electric guitar on InchBelongInch and the sumptuously synthetic dance pop perfection of InchThe BodyInch to the prom-in-heaven chorus of InchEven in DreamsInch and the closing moments of the uncommonly sincere and affecting InchStrangeInch the answer is an unqualified, resounding (and damn good sounding) YES! BELONG unleashes added power, while retaining all the sweet sweet melodies that still hit that pop spot. Album Tracks 1. Belong 2. Heaven's Gonna Happen Now 3. Heart in Your Heartbreak 4. The Body 5. Anne with An E 6. Even in Dreams 7. My Terrible Friend 8. Girl of 1,000 Dreams 9. Too Tough 10. Strange
