Portland, Oregon’s Strange Ranger have just recently signed to Fire Talk who will reissue their 2021 critically acclaimed mixtape No Light in Heaven for the first time on vinyl.
With the announcement came the tranquil and life affirming bonus track “Raver Explanation” a song that captures the spirit of future indie rock / pop pioneers The Avalanches and something of a hazy daydream sonic delight of its own creation.
The band elaborates:
This song is sort of about an uneven power dynamic between 2 people. All that longing with no ability to communicate. Made the video with our friend Rich Smith on the Staten Island Ferry. Rode it back and forth for a couple hours as it got dark. The blue black water and wind gave me the same feeling as the song.”
