After having an absolute smashing year, Gramatik is wasting no time. Keeping the momentum going Gramatik is now releasing another single, this time with close friend and frequent collaborator, Eric Krasno on “Recovery” out now via Lowtemp.
For “Recovery,” the release has a more traditional arrangement than what we are generally used to in electronic dance music, so Gramatik made sure the tone of this one is set right from the get go. The track opens with a blissful, 50’s musical instrumentation, and then jumps right into the first verse with no long build-ups. Krasno was responsible for the straight-to-the-point lyrics that don’t hide behind unnecessary metaphors, and he also provided the vocals as well as his signature guitar playing.
As for how the track came to be, Gramatik simply states “Kraz and I are in Recovery from Torture.” According to Krasno, “Recovery” began as a part of his larger concept album until Gramatik got an ear on it:
“Recovery” is a track I initially wrote as part of a concept album I’ve been working on (coming early 2018). Gramatik heard it and instantly wanted to work on it. He had been through an intense leg injury and really related to the hook of the song. He then flipped it on its head in the best way possible…. I love working with him; his tracks always feel and sound amazing. We have also have a few more tracks in the works.”
