He may be our homegrown golden boy, but Hottest 100-topping Aussie musician Chet Faker is a proud resident of the Big Apple, which is currently in the midst of a massive snowstorm that meteorologists have dubbed Winter Storm Jonas.
Undeterred by what New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has called “one of the largest blizzards in the history of New York City”, Faker has dropped a new tune inspired by the snowstorm, sharing the track ‘In-Between’ via his SoundCloud account.
The track samples a weather warning from the mayor and features a simple arrangement of acoustic guitar, drum loops, and bubbling synths. Faker himself does not contribute vocals to the track, which you can check out in all its hypnotic splendour below.
Faker accompanied the track with a selfie of himself braving the storm, rugged up in a heavy coat, scarf, and beanie, puffing on a cigarette. Faker’s collaboration with Marcus Marr, ‘The Trouble With Us’, is expected to do well in tomorrow’s triple j Hottest 100.
