“After Torture comes Recovery,” so reads the message from Gramatik that comes with his latest single. The genre-blending producer recently messed up his leg real bad, and while he was stuck healing, he took the opportunity to get serious work done in the studio.
Following “As We Proceed,” “Recovery” is something different for the heads. It opens with orchestral strings and piano in the style of a '50s musical, but ain't nothing dated about the groove that follows. It's got a vintage swing, sure, but the bass kicks are too future. Vocalist Eric Krasno sings soulful inspiration to anyone who's struggling to get their mind, body, or heart back on the right track.
“Recovery” is a real cool, laid-back tune for your lazy summer afternoons. It foreshadows some kind of larger release. Whether it's an EP or full-length album remains to be seen. “Recovery” is out everyone Friday, June 2, on Lowtemp Records, but you can listen to it below, exclusively on Billboard Dance.
