"Gold" was the third single pulled from Built on Glass, the 2014 debut album by Australian musician Chet Faker, and Future Classic put it out as a download in June of that year. Nick Murphy is its only writer, and it's electronica at its most unhurried, a late-night slow burn with its collar undone.
The video, directed by Hiro Murai with choreography by Ryan Heffington, follows roller skaters gliding down a road near Acton, California, filmed over a single night and stitched together from four shots so it plays as one unbroken run. The song was later shortlisted for Song of the Year at the 2015 APRA Music Awards, and it scored Apple's reveal video for the new MacBook.
