New York/Berlin duo HAERTS have returned with brand new single “For the Sky” that features Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear.
The track perfectly suits Droste’s vocals, with the duo of Nini Fabi and Benny Gebert creating a soundscape that actually doesn’t stray too far from some of the latter-day Grizzly Bear material. The combination of Fabi and Droste’s vocals is well suited for the production at hand, resulting in a listen that is a sweeping sonic display of emotion.
Enjoy the Julian Klincewicz-directed music video for “For the Sky” below, along with a description from the band about the creation of the track:
“For the Sky” came from a dream I had when I first found out that I was pregnant, which was the catalyst and beginning of writing the new music. When we finished the demo for the song I kept hearing Ed’s voice and just thought he would sound amazing on it. We didn’t know him at the time, but were such fans. When we reached out we honestly thought we’d never hear from him. But we did and we went into the studio in LA, and ended up recording it just singing together in a room. Now that feels like such a nostalgic notion. But even then it was special. It was that feeling you get when you sing with somebody and something just clicks. And it’s especially crazy when you sing with a vocal force as Ed. I wish everybody could sing together more and feel that.
