Delicate Power (In The Hands Of Others) is the second single to be taken from Antonymes’ latest album (For Now We See) Through A Glass Dimly. 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 hypnotic rhythmic underpinning of Delicate Power has invited five magical re-workings on this EP, each with its own subtle majesty. Marconi Union tease the original into a beautifully orchestrated anti-gravity ballad. Markus Mehr’s inimitable skills for re-invention have helped him to create a brooding version that draws heavily on the original’s rhythmic details. Lvmark’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.

Directed, filmed and edited by David O'Byrne at Chasing Light, with additional footage by Ian M Hazeldine. All shot on location in an abandoned chapel in Wales, May 2016.

Released digitally on all major platforms 31st May 20016.
