2026: THE YEAR OF FUTURE CITY BLUES!
Pumped to tell you that Adam(Stehreo) and I have formed a duo called Gramatik Stehreo(clever name, I know) and our first single ‘Crossroads City’ is out now!
🔊🎸🔊 lnk.to/CrossroadsCity
Backstory: Adam and I have been touring and making music together for 10+ years now, he’s the badass guitarist that makes my shows 100x more fun. When we first met we instantly bonded over our love for the delta blues & blues rock. We quickly discovered we were both fascinated by the supernatural lore surrounding the faustian myth of the crossroads, the Robert Johnson story and how the delta blues became the blueprint from which all modern music genres evolved. (For those who don’t know, it’s a great rabbit hole to go down - there’s a doc on netflix called ‘ReMastered: Devil at the Crossroads’ which is a great place to start). While on tour in 2019 we first had the idea to make an album called ‘Future City Blues’ which would be our debut as a duo and would attempt to combine 3 of our favorite things: Blues, Bass, & Cyberpunk. We wrote about 15 tunes and one of the firsts was ‘Crossorads City’ which kind of reimagines the myth of selling your soul to the devil at the crossroads by setting it in a cyberpunk megacity of the future. You might be asking yourselves what happened to this album? Well, we almost finished it in early 2020. Then covid hit and totally ruined our plans of finishing it the way we wanted. The whole vibe we had going was kind of swallowed up by the depression of the pandemic so we just shelved it for another time, and wouldn’t you know it, 7yrs later, that time has finally come.😋 Tbh, thinking back on it now we’re both happy we shelved it back then cause even tho the songs were great musically, the execution wasn’t quite there yet as it desperately needed the maturity of our 7yr older future selves! Now that we’ve all arrived in the future, we’ll be releasing a bunch of FCB singles this year that’ll hopefully lead to the album, assuming some global calamity doesn’t thwart our plans again lol.
For now, enjoy the first single and expect more soon!
Special thx to our boy DarkPxl for the art!
