TWO artists which; at first glance, may almost seem at odds with one another, Glasgow’s CHVRCHES and the ever experimental producer Four Tet are both darlings of critics and consumers alike but for entirely disparate reasons. Whilst CHVRCHES have displayed a mastery of modern day electro/synth pop and have set about becoming the definitive act of this generation, London’s Four Tet has forever marched to the beat of his own drum and has inspired thousands of aspiring artists in the process.
following the unexpected news that he was set to support the trio at an upcoming London date, the producer lesser known as Kieran Hebden has turned his hand to their recent single ‘Leave A Trace’ and delivered an astonishing remix in the process.
Set upon a spine tingling rhythmic base that contorts the track into a different beast altogether, Four Tet’s take on ‘Leave A Trace’ removes the energised pop sheen of the original and guides it towards a more sedate and ambient land which succeeds in complimenting Lauren Mayberry’s breathtaking vocals.
