After four years of soul searching, Nick Murphy seems to have finally found himself in Run Fast Sleep Naked. Using a wide range of digital synths and live instruments, Murphy heaves his constant questioning and eventually materializes his own truth on the 11-track project. The album plays out as an upbeat outlook on the singer-songwriter’s pensive journey—a refreshing take on the repetitious theme.
