Chet Faker recently met with Clash Magazine for an interview, speaking about the creative process surrounding his new album ‘Built On Glass’.
“Self-awareness became this really valuable skill that I had to maintain, because you get to this point where you don’t know what is up and what is down. Sometimes you’re not making progress, and you’re making things worse. It almost felt like that for the entire process.

And eventually… it did.”
