‘Delicate Power’ is the second single to be taken from Antonymes’ sublime new album <a title="(For Now We See) Through A Glass Dimly" href="https://antonymes.bandcamp.com/album/for-now-we-see-through-a-glass-dimly" target="_blank"><em>(For Now We See) Through A Glass Dimly</em></a>. The track showcases Antonymes deft musical skills with its restrained rhythms infusing the melodies with a gravitas that is at once warmly human and gravely austere. The single is accompanied by a gorgeous <a title="Vimeo" href="https://vimeo.com/168580004" target="_blank">music video</a> filmed by the incredible people at Chasing Light and shot on location at a beautiful, hidden otherworld in mid Wales.

The hypnotic rhythmic underpinning of ‘Delicate Power’ has invited five magical re-workings on this EP, each with its own subtle majesty. <a title="Marconi Union" href="http://www.marconiunion.com/" target="_blank">Marconi Union</a> tease the original into a beautifully orchestrated anti-gravity ballad. <a title="Markus Mehr" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/markus-mehr/" target="_blank">Markus Mehr</a>’s inimitable skills for re-invention have helped him to create a brooding version that draws heavily on the original’s rhythmic details. <a title="Lvmark" href="https://soundcloud.com/lvmark" target="_blank">Lvmark</a>’s reinterpretation foregrounds the melodic elements of the original, wedded to gently pulsing electronica. Alongside these three guest remixes, there are two reworkings from Antonymes himself: ‘Delicate Power’ (Waltz For Mary Anne)’ transforms the original into a beautiful, late-night swing, and ‘Delicate Power (Jung’s Drug Drum Waltz)’ lives up to the promise of its title with more heft to its woody rhythms.

<em>Delicate Power (In The Hands of Others)</em> is available now via Antonymes' <a title="Bandcamp" href="http://antonymes.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp </a>and the usual 3rd party online stores.
