Ahead of the release of Chvrches second album Every Open Eye in September, the Glasgow synth pop trio have called upon the ever reliable remix skills of Four Tet for the album's lead single 'Leave a Trace'. 

Eschewing the original track's shimmering pop glean, Kieran Hebden takes things down a mesmerising, percussive rabbithole, with ponderous, beautiful chords sitting on top of one of a crisp, snapping drum pattern. The breakdown is particularly gorgeous, with two minutes plus of swirling synths and layered vocals giving way to the final furlong of restrained, grimey tech house. Expect to hear this an awful lot throughout the rest of the year.
