Faker have announced their return.
The Sydney group disbanded back in 2013 and have officially announced their reunion this morning, following a Facebook post in early October suggesting something was on the way.
Additionally, the group - which has been lead by Nathan Hudson since 1996 - has officially released their third album, dubbed Get Loved.
“To celebrate the just-announced (and very official) re-banding of Faker in 2020, we’ve decided to look to our past and finally make available the missing 3rd Faker LP from 2011, Get Loved," said the band in a statement today.
"A record which was made lovingly, then given away via our mailing list, but never officially released at the time.
"‘Get Loved lives as a snapshot of Faker during a surprisingly rocky 2010 and 2011. It was crafted by a paired-down Faker (Nic and Nathan) who thought, 'why not build a studio and produce our own record?' Wrapped up in something to dance around your bedroom to, it contains all the heartbreak that led to the eventual disbanding of Faker in 2013, until now.
"Get Loved was given away on Nathan’s birthday (December 2nd) in 2011. Now, on October 16th - inadvertently the anniversary of Nathan’s own coming out - we release with love, our 3rd record, Get Loved.”
Faker found breakout success with the release of Hurricane from their debut studio album, Addicted Romantic, back in 2005.
They followed up with Be The Twilight in 2007, which saw lead single This Heart Attack land at #5 on the triple j Hottest 100.
