Well known as a key founding member of Melbourne bent rock pop favourites The Anyones, Nick Murphy has ventured out on his own with this debut solo release, “Breaking The Light”. This, his first solo collection of songs, highlights Nick’s prolific work ethic, along with flexibility and depth of experiences as a songwriter and musician, singing and playing the majority of parts himself.

After 3 years of touring around Australia and the US on the back of 2 highly acclaimed and successful albums with The Anyones, Nick has come up with a bunch of songs reflecting a more personal and intimate writing style than previously. Also on show is his psychedelic-country-love-affair with a Fender Telecaster, delay pedal, tremolo box, and of course, vocal harmonies to die for. Mix all this with thoughtful catchy hooks that he’s well known for, and the result is atotally absorbing listen. There’s a sound for every ear, and with the help of such Melbourne music luminaries such as Ross McLennan, Dave Ong, Ben Mason, Chris Brodie and Phillipa Nihill, Nick Murphy has crafted a distinctive style all of his own.

‘Urban Boredom Song’ is the first track to be taken from the album as a single, and will be accompanied by a beautiful psychedelic animated video featuring many images from Nicks past. With this track already launched to a packed house at Melbourne's The tote earlier last month, 'Breaking The Light' Holds many more melodious gems to make you fall in love with this record.
