Searching for their stride in self-expression, the Detroit-based songwriter and producer Grayskale has been steadfastly exploring the wide array of bass music styles and rhythms across his time as a public-facing musician. With a clear attraction to clarity and structure, his humble catalog already displays a munificent bounty of production knowledge and compositional finesse. Consequently, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere the namesake single to his forthcoming first album, String Theory.
“String Theory” is a distinctly narrative stroll, fusing a focused message with syncretic sound design. The first half of the track features a whimsical orator giving us the foundational argument of string theory, parallel to the gradual rise in chord progressions and swelling percussive rides in the background. At the track’s midway point, it cleverly dovetails into a staccato dance of pulsing low end and flighty melodies. At it’s apex, “String Theory” displays the blissful colorways capable when bass music is designed to be particularly rich in harmonics and fidelity, and has us eagerly awaiting the full dive into the String Theory LP.
