Fazerdaze - Shoulders

Fazerdaze - Shoulders





Shoulders - Lyrics
waking soft, waking slow
fading into focus
every breath, every pulse
holding in the moment
every fall, every rise and falling of your shoulders
and I’m trying not to try so hard, for you
I’m trying not to try so hard, for you
ooh, for you
ooh, for you
wake me soft, wake me slow
fade me into focus
every breath, every pulse
I hold you in the moment
and I’m trying not to try so hard, for you
I’m trying not to try so hard, for you
ooh, for you
ooh, for you

from Morningside, released May 5, 2017

The brainchild of Amelia Murray, Fazerdaze began as a string of bedroom recordings created late in the night, emerging fully-formed in 2014 as her debut eponymous EP. A succinct collection of intimate, beautifully produced dream-pop written, produced and performed by Murray herself. It’s a significant first outing for the young New Zealander with layers of softly crunching guitars swirling over consistently driving drum machines, and sparse electronica.

The EP quickly took flight, receiving critical acclaim from blogs and publications around the globe. NME described it as ‘elegant dream pop’, while US blog HillyDilly exclaimed how ‘Fazerdaze transports us to a warm, optimistic sonic space with her glistening synths and mellow acoustic guitar strums’. NZ’s Sunday Star Times listed it in their ‘Best of 2014’ spread, hailing it as a ‘versatile collection of near-perfect pop songs...’

Since the EP release, Fazerdaze and her band have shifted to another level. Opening the 2015 New Zealand Silver Scroll Awards with her cover of Marlon Williams’ Dark Child as well as supporting and touring with international acts like Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Connan Mockasin. This year Fazerdaze toured the UK, became a genuine highlight at Australia’s BIGSOUND music conference and recently took part in the the 2016 Red Bull Music Academy in Montreal.

With a full length album set for release in may 2017, this is just the beginning for Amelia Murray and Fazerdaze.www.groenland.com
