Work is an extended play (EP) by English DJ Marcus Marr and Australian musician Chet Faker. The EP was recorded over a period of four days at Marr's studio following initial collaboration on Twitter. [1] [2]
Sally McMullen of Music Feeds said "Work is a symmetry of two sonic worlds that usually keep their distance. The fusion of electro beats and soulful indie pop vocals makes for a combination that is challenging,compelling and easy on the ears." [2]
"The Trouble with Us" was promoted as the first single from the EP and was released on 16 October 2015.
All tracks are written by Marcus Marr and Nick Murphy.
