New Rangers: Zombies.

01 Nov 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Joe Knight from ex-Texas/now San Francisco hypnagogic pop project Rangers generously sent over his latest tune this weekend. Zombies is a hazy and nostalgic post Halloween slow burner, perfect for the morning after or the inevitable comedown in between, a mellow and sugary bass line leading through a track full of 80s infused guitar weeps and distorted, VHS/video game leaning synth sounds. After Rangers' outstanding Suburban Tours LP earlier this year on OESB, Zombies is the first song from a new EP or LP that's gonna be released "hopefully sometime before the new year or at the start", being conceived as a "straight up pop album".

Also, don't miss Rangers' stellar split single with Ducktails on Not Not Fun's rad Bored Fortress 7 Inch Club. The tune, The Brides Of Marin, actually comprises a good deal of what has become Zombies.
