Aussie indie stalwart Chet Faker has just unleashed another taste of his upcoming album via brand new single, Feel Good.

The artist, known offstage as Nick Murphy, shared the new tune today alongside a vibed-out video featuring rollerblading through the desert.

“I broke my hand filming this last week and I don’t regret one bit of it," Murphy said.

Chet Faker's fourth LP, Hotel Surrender, is slated for release on July 16 via BMG/Detail Records.
