Strange Ranger (strange_rangerr) delve deeper into their own metamorphosis through electro-pop abstraction on 'Pure Music.' Read our review here:
Strange Ranger can’t stand still. The quartet is always shifting and evolving, whether it’s through cross-country moves or making a sharp departure from their sonic roots. They’re in constant motion, which makes them adaptable and agile in ways that other bands just aren’t. They’re fearless in the face of change and defined by their refusal to stay stagnant.
or the emo-adjacent indie-rock that defined their time as Sioux Falls, they have no problem ripping it up and starting again. They have become adept at reinventing themselves, not for shock value but because they genuinely master any genre they attempt. They live to surprise you, to fake out the listener, to flit from one sound to the next with no warning so they can keep you wondering.
From these estranged influences comes a crash-course in escapism; a collection of 10 interconnected tracks that bleed into each other; a sonic blur that makes time feel like a flimsy concept in the face of the zapping synths. It’s a phenomenon akin to the psychology behind removing clocks from casinos, you’re supposed to lose your grip a little bit in order to become chemically dizzy and disoriented.
While the majority of the album exists in the parallel reality that prompts Woodman to ask, “Is this all happening?,” there are glitches that let in earthly flashes of emotion, though they come thinly disguised under the glare of strobe lights like on “Blue Shade,” as the dual vocals of Woodman and Isaac Eiger profess “Heaven is lost and found in open range / Higher love in cyclic ultraviolet waves / And your memory is a roadblock in my way.
That being said, it’s almost impossible to not surrender to the sweeping bliss of Strange Ranger. The risk they took with their complete metamorphosis paid off, further solidifying them as a band with talent that transcends genres and states. Though, they were great before they pushed themselves to excel in uncharted waters, too, as they’ve gone on a limb that few would so willingly walk out on.
