Californian post-hardcore band Touché Amoré are preparing to release a 10th anniversary deluxe edition of their fourth studio album “Stage Four” on April 10th. This expanded version boasts an additional 11 bonus tracks, including demos, and remixes from members of Deafheaven, The Blood Brothers, Youth Code and more. One of those remixes, a new take on “Rapture” by nü-gazer Wisp, is now streaming below.
“Stage Four” was a deeply personal album for Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm, as it was inspired by his mother’s battle with cancer that ultimately claimed her life. Bolm stated of this remix and the decision to celebrate the album:
”Rapture‘ is a staple in our set and has been since the album dropped. Over time, the call and response bit that happens during the bridge has become as much of our show as anything else. I wanted to get Wisp on this track because I’m a big fan of Natalie’s vocal ability for its whispery, breathy nature. It has a haunting element that matched the energy of the song.”
“‘Stage Four‘ was a mandatory album for my journey with grief, and the impact it’s had on the band as well as our audience – however heavy or light – feels worth celebrating.”
