Strange Ranger - Remembering the Rockets Reviewed by a.b. en masse 2019-09-30 Strange Ranger is an indie band with roots in Montana and Portland. “Remembering the Rockets” drifts back and forth between midtempo tunes and slower musings, all connected by a style that is slightly twangy and sweetly pitchy. If that’s not your kind of thing, track 5 features a female vocalist who is much more of a traditional singer. RIYL: Joyce Manor, Pinegrove, You Blew It! FCC: Track 8 Recommended Tracks: 1, 5 1. (3:46) Leona** – Sing-songy intro that hops along, “bada-da-da-da” chorus 2. (3:19) Sunday – Almost reads like a Gin Blossoms song, melodic melancholy 3. (3:25) Ari Song – Slower, more atmospheric 4. (0:52) athens, ga – Interlude track, synth-y pipes over ambient conversation 5. (3:38) Message to You*** – Another slow song. Soft female vocals grounded by bass, drums, and piano. 6. (4:10) Nothing Else to Think About – Mellow, melodic 7. (0:47) rockets – Another interlude, pipes, distortion, female humming 8. [FCC: fuck] (3:56) Ranch Style Home** – Weighty and slightly snarly, big choruses 9. (3:31) Pete’s Hill – Another mellow song, strumming 10. (4:07) Beneath the Lights – Darker song, slightly fuzzed distortion 11. (3:40) Planes in Front of the Sun – Sweet and simple piano line shines through 12. (1:42) ’02 – Interlude track, faded pipes and plucking 13. (3:35) Living Free – Slower track, drums plod along 14. (2:26) Cold Hands Warm Heart – Stripped back: sad ‘n’ sweet piano/vocals | ||
