Press Info:
Industrial electronic pioneer Chris Carter gives Mute US labelmate Daniel Avery’s ‘Lone Swordsman’ a masterful new remix. Original track was created in tribute to the late producer and DJ Andrew Weatherall.

Hot on the heels of his recent album, Together In Static, and a pair of live shows at London’s Hackney Church, Daniel Avery today shares a new remix of “Lone Swordsman” by Throbbing Gristle’s Chris Carter. The track was originally released in 2020 as an homage to Avery’s hero and friend, the late Andrew Weatherall. Listen to the remix – which is accompanied by a fittingly psychedelic visual – here.

Reflecting on Carter’s reimagining of “Lone Swordsman,” Avery says, “Chris is a true musical inspiration in so many ways, someone who has never stopped creating and a figure whose work continues to sound like it comes from another world. I’m ecstatic to have this one out there.”

“When Daniel asked me if I’d like to remix his Andy Weatherall tribute, how could I refuse,” says Carter. “I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to pay homage. Andy was one of the brightest, funniest people I’ve ever known, I feel privileged to have had the honour of being in his company sharing his countless anecdotes and experiencing his legendary pioneering DJ sets. Who else could play the Pink Panther theme in the middle of a set and get any with it? Andy could… Andy did.”
