Daymoon

Strange Ranger (fka Sioux Falls) is an Indie-Rock / Post-Punk band from Montana, now based out of Portland, Oregon. Formed by Isaac Eiger and Fred Nixon and solidified by the duoâs mutual love of early Modest Mouse, the bandâs breakthrough debut full-length, the sprawling Rot Forever, was named one of Consequence of Soundâs âTop 50 Albums of 2016. â Later that year, the follow-up EP, Sunbeams Through Your Head, was cited as one of Stereogumâs âGreat EPs from 2016â and lead to Strange Rangerâs inclusion in the publications list of âBest New Bands. âOver the course of last Winter, Strange Ranger recorded it's sophomore full-length, Daymoon. Naturally evolving from the expansiveness of Rot Forever in favor of a smarter and more focused approach, the album transmits as something uniquely hushed and organic. While previous material felt more like a band exploring numerous diverse avenues, Daymoon pulls back and showcases heightened attention to detail. Still, the honest, heart-on-sleeve songwriting remains, even if the band has chosen subtler paths to deliver it's message. Daymoon is a tasteful and nuanced evolution for Strange Ranger - one that will undoubtedly  serve as a bridge to the bandâs continuing and singular evolution.
