Threads Remixes by Liyah Knight
Liyah Knight shares new remixes of her latest single, “Threads” from two Melbourne and Sydney-based producers, Foura and Chelsea Warner respectively, out now via The Orchard.
An intimate and introspective single, “Threads” now receives a remix treatment that pushes further into the consciousness of Australian listeners everywhere. Melbourne dance act, and signee to NLV Records, Foura’s bass-heavy confidence weaves through house snare hits and driving techno undercurrents, propelling “Threads” into late night territory with a dash of darker flavour.
Meanwhile, Sydney’s Chelsea Warner adds a stellar slickness to the original track. Newfound 808s that bump, and swinging drums provide an alluring momentum that’s all glitz, and ready for play in a dim-lit bar. Central to both re-works is the strength of Liyah Knight’s vocals, as a simultaneous powerhouse of emotive nuance and core-hitting assertion.
A voice that’s keenly intertwined with accessible yet intensely unique storytelling, is Liyah Knight’s ultimate charm. Knight next prepares to release her sophomore Traveller’s Guide EP on November 5. The forthcoming EP includes the latest single, “Threads”, as well as previous release, “Moon Baby”, which collectively have received a wealth of support across the airwaves, including an addition from FBi Radio and love from Triple R, PBS and triple j alike. The six-track body of work sees Liyah team up with the likes of Diesel, Tasker, IAMMXO, Garret Kato and Penny Pariah, Korky Buchek and Cyrus, uncovering a musical narrative and exploration of self discovery, whereby Liyah honours vulnerability, love and its all-encompassing range of emotions and perspectives.
Liyah Knight on the EP: “Travellers Guide explores the journey of being open to the unfamiliar; Once we strip back our layers, we are ultimately allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and to be open to new experiences. In this instance, that new experience is love. Love is exciting, love is multidimensional, and love is enlightening.
“Sonically and visually this project takes the shape of a long hike on an unfamiliar path eventually leading to the ocean; The most powerful and calming force of nature.”
Since the release of her debut EP, NESTING in 2020, Liyah Knight has swifty enraptured Australian audiences, commanding their attention as a talented songwriter and musician to watch. The EP existed as a beautiful and kinetic introduction to Liyah’s genre-spanning web of indie, pop and folk tones, all grounded in her intimate and considered approach to composition and arrangement. Liyah was quick to receive praise from triple j Unearthed and community radio upon the EP’s release. From the live stage, Liyah has supported Budjerah and Milan Ring, as well as made her Australian television debut on ABC’s The Set with Peking Duk, reaffirming her presence as a dynamic and multi-disciplinary performer.
Acquaint yourself with the surreal sounds of Liyah Knight, as she prepares to release her sophomore EP this November. Today’s two special reworks introduce “Threads” to new and mesmerisingly darker spaces for repetitive play.
