The Woven Project share new remix

The Woven Project is a band hailing from the northeast coast of England whose work with lo-fi acoustic electronica and experimental soundscapes has seen them shine on an enduring musical adventure. Their journey first started back in 2009 as a modest duo known as Woven, born from a simple rehearsal for a friend’s birthday party that never came to pass.

But out of that beginning, something special started to take shape. What began as a small, intimate project quickly evolved into The Woven Project, a collective that would go on to collaborate with musicians from across the UK and gain a following for their melancholic and blissful sound.

Over the years, The Woven Project has built a reputation for their emotive and atmospheric performances, playing at festivals such as Greenman, Solfest and the Stockton Weekender among others. They’ve shared the stage with the likes of Jesca Hoop, King Creosote and The Unthanks, while their release have enjoyed extensive radio support. Their music, a delicate balance of acoustic folk elements tinged with electronic experimentation, has connected with audiences who appreciate their ability to instil deep emotion through minimalistic yet profound arrangements.

After releasing their first EP in 2011, the band took a five-year hiatus, returning in 2018 with renewed energy and creativity which led to Let Beautiful In, a six-track EP released on Shy Bairn Records last year. The EP was met with enthusiasm from fans and critics alike, prompting the band to explore new interpretations of their work by inviting fellow musicians to remix the tracks. The result is Let Beautiful In: Rewoven, a collection of remixes that breathe new life into their already compelling songs.

Bringing us the latest taste of the upcoming remix record, they share the new remix of their song “Winds” by the talented artist and producer Foll, who previously reworked their track, “44.” Taking the hazy acoustic progressive folk sounds of the original, Foll filters the musical ingredients through their own sonic lens to craft a spellbinding electronic style remix.

Setting up a smokey backdrop driven by the soft pattering of glitchy beats, the reverb-drenched elements of the original swell throughout the remix as the hushed vocals gentle float through the arrangement which builds to a finale met with bold punching beats and delicate chiming tones. At once energising and hypnotic, with the remix of “Winds,” Foll retains all the musical wonder of the original and reframes it in a completely new sonic light. It’s another superb collaboration that sees The Woven Project’s music take on new shapes as they continue to build the excitement for the full-length release on Bandcamp via the Shy Bairn Records label.
