Drone Ranger

Gentle and seductive, smoke filled gloom room, david lynch “fire walk with me”, veiled horror, gripping drive. obvious one, floyd of course. this started as a brainstorm, maybe writing this way is more true. Jesus, a gasp, floating with ‘Shadow and Ghost’ (it’s an expression, isn’t it). I said this once already but thank science for 4 tracks, tascam tascam tascam. ‘Gameboy Idiot’, You Are Perfect, there isn’t a soul in the modern music world who wouldn’t swoon to this suped up shoegaze, what the strokes used to be, masterpiece. Please come re-record the album, record a single, anything, We will have all sorts of boisterous fun at Dingus Records Studios @ Freecandy making history with what is already a tantalizingly fulfilling, subtly inventive, and truly virtuous DIY feat. @dingusrecords - Dingus

Drone Ranger released their debut self-titled EP this past spring. The sound is murky, coated in a thick shoegaze-y, psychedelic haze. Yet, while it may be out there, the group finds an endearing air of warmth that engages listeners rather than distancing/alienating them. With an evolving lineup that currently sits as a quartet, the group released a pair of songs at the end of last year “The Dead Isle” and “Mutant Maze” that serve as an optimistic preview of their full-length LP that is projected to arrive later this year. In these songs, Drone Ranger exhibit a clearer, industrious vibe creating multifaceted arrangements that benefit in their ebb and flow movements. This more lively approach still embraces the band’s spacey side; however, now that drifting scenario is in better balance - a piece of the musical puzzle in lieu of being its main component. With a fresh album on the horizon and a steady progression, Drone Ranger is definitely on our radar.
