Pete Murray, born in 1969 and based in Brisbane, writes the kind of warm, unhurried rock that sounds like a long drive up the coast with the windows down. His 2001 album The Game introduced that laid-back, husky voice on songs like "Lines" and "So Beautiful", and in 2003 Feeler made him a chart-topper, going to number 1 on the ARIA albums chart.
It was the start of a streak. See the Sun in 2005 and Summer at Eureka in 2008 also topped the ARIA charts, three chart-toppers in a row. Along the way he has racked up 17 ARIA nominations and sold more than 1.2 million albums in Australia alone, all on the strength of gentle, sun-bleached songs that never raise their voice.
