Skrillex's 'Recess' Album: A Track-by-Track Breakdown
FUSE TV - Skrillex's 'Recess' Album: A Track-by-Track Breakdown
1. "All is Fair in Love and Brostep" ft. Ragga Twins
Recess' first track lays vocals from dancehall duo Ragga Twins over sawtoothed dubstep drops, shrieking synths, laser-tag splurts and found-sound samples. This is what you expect a Skrillex song to sound like while serving as a logical opener for an album that expands his sound.
2. "Recess" ft. Kill the Noise, Fatman Scoop and Michael Angelakos
The title track features the album's most bizarre pairing: Iconic rap hypeman Fatman Scoop and the falsetto-loving lead singer of Passion Pit. But Skrillex treats each like a sample, and as such "Recess" is pure sound collage. It's also a reminder of how focused Recess is on delivering the feeling of a live show. This track is punctuated by build ups explicitly tailored to a crowd. That said, utilizing Fatman Scoop is a novel way of adding another link between EDM and hip hop.
3. "Stranger"
After two straight pulverizing tracks, "Stranger" bends the album toward groove-based dance music. With a deep house beat providing the backbone, this track still makes room for the type of breakdowns—acidic synth tones, handclaps, "trap" drums—you'd hear on a post-EDM Major Lazer album.
