About This Item
Throughout the last decade, Strange Ranger have been crafting seamless indie music that feels both already classic and precisely of it's time. From 'Daymoon's strains of the Microphones by way of the Pacific Northwest-era indie scene to the dark elation and Cure-reminiscent stylings of 'Remembering the Rockets' they've become one of the rare standouts of a crop of bands that have managed to grow up with us. More than just a stopgap along that progression, the new mixtape entitled No Light In Heaven holds some of the band's most experimental and ambitious work yet. Stitched together through a series of sessions at both a house in rural NY and Strange Ranger's home studios in both Philadelphia and NYC (where Eiger and Woodman moved in 2021], the mixtape possesses something both abstract and astute; the product of a band in transition and a group of people making something effortlessly transcendental out of their new surroundings.
