Wet Leg Puts Their Own Intense Spin On Faux Real With Remix Of “Waling Away From My Demons”

Electronic duo Faux Real’s “Walking Away From My Demons” has been reworked and reimagined by their former touring friends Wet Leg. The new Wet Leg Remix of WAFDM is very different from the Franco-American Duo’s original track, speeding it up and dicing the original track into a repeating defiant statement of “I’m gonna take a walk!”

“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,” Faux Real explains. “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.“
