Principe Valiente - I Am You

Swedish dream pop group Principe Valiente are excited to announce the release of a previously unheard remix of their song ‘I Am You’ by the Brooklyn, New York based post-punk band Bootblacks.

‘I Am You’ was originally released in 2022 as a single from the album ‘Barricades’, the fourth full-length record by Principe Valiente but their Metropolis Records debut. It was accompanied at that time by remixes from US acts Astari Nite and Solemn Youth (Adam Stilson of New Canyons). A further exceptional remix surfaced soon after from Bootblacks, but remained unfinished. Refusing to let such a powerful reinterpretation fade into obscurity, the band have revisited and reworked it, and are now proud to reveal it.

"Some things are too good to be left in the dust,” they state. "We knew this remix deserved to be heard, so we took the time to complete it properly. Now, we’re excited to share it with our fans - better late than never!"

‘Barricades’ was followed in 2024 by ‘In This Light’, an album that marked a bold move in the decade-plus evolution of Principe Valiente. its meticulously crafted songs laying bare the ethereal soundscapes and dark ambient allure that initially propelled them onto the alternative scene with their self-titled 2011 debut.

Mellotron and analog synths harmonised with the celestial resonance of Rickenbacker 12-string and Gretsch guitars played by Jimmy Ottosson, the album further enriched by melodic piano and distinctively distorted driving bass, all enveloped in the enigmatic voice of Fernando Honorato.
