Faux Real and Wet Leg reimagine ‘Walking Away From My Demons’ with a bold remix
Faux Real’s fan-favorite track, ‘Walking Away From My Demons,’ takes on a new life with an electrifying remix by Wet Leg.
Known for their genre-bending approach, the Franco-American duo Faux Real brings their signature flamboyance to the track, while Wet Leg infuses it with a dynamic contrast of deadpan cool and high-energy beats. Originally a highlight of Faux Real’s live performances, the remix transforms the song into a club-ready anthem, with pulsating rhythms and a confident swagger. The interplay between Rhian Teasdale’s laid-back vocals and Josh Mobaraki’s nightcore-inspired production creates an irresistible tension, adding new layers to the track’s introspective yet defiant themes.
Faux Real explains:
“After we opened for Wet Leg on their first US tour in the fall of ‘22, we became fast friends. So when the chance to collaborate came up, it just felt like a no-brainer. Rhian’s deadpan verses play perfectly against the frantic energy of Josh’s nightcore rework, giving the clubby beat this cool confidence—‘I walk around my neighborhood, you’re looking down, I’m looking good’—like finally taking control over the title’s demons. Sometimes, the only way to shake off feelings of inadequacy is to just get up and go, however underprepared. Sow, reap, repeat.”
With their acclaimed debut album Faux Ever making waves and a North American tour in full swing, Faux Real continues to push creative boundaries. The Wet Leg remix of ‘Walking Away From My Demons’ is out now on your favorite DSP.
