about

Last May, multidisciplinary artist, producer, and DFA stalwart Delia Gonzalez released her second record Horse Follows Darkness, a modern electronic soundtrack for the Revisionist Western film genre. The album was based on her experience moving back to the United States from Berlin as a single mother, and “the journey that followed,” she explains. “Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West.”

The collaborative rework of “Hidden Song” is the EP’s centerpiece, a new composition rather than a standard remix. Recorded in Athens, Greece, this new version features two collaborators, in addition to Delia herself – Raul DeNieves & Dimitris Papadatos aka Jay Glass Dubs. Raul DeNieves became an art world sensation after emerging as the breakout star of the 2017 Whitney Biennial. A close personal friend of Delia’s for over a decade, Raul’s vocals—chants, screams and the repeated mantra “all you need is love”—kick off the track and repeat and morph over the course of the song.

This take on “Hidden Song” is a long-form journey with live percussion, kick drum, layer upon layer of synths, and the aforementioned chants and vocals.

Other contributors to this EP include a slinky subdued take by Steven Warwick aka PAN recording artist Heatsick, techno reworks by Barker & Baumecker (Ostgut Ton) & band member / solo artist Bryce Hackford as well as a melodic electro remix by Berlin gallerist / DJ Gigiotto Del Vecchio aka Gigiotto Von Alt (Supportico Lopez Gallery).

This collection of artists, musicians, and gallerists are some of the key people in Athens, Greece and Berlin, assisting Delia Gonzalez on both her musical and artistic endeavors – all chosen for their personal connection to her and her son, all helping to recreate and revisit the deeply personal record she released earlier this year.
