Strange Ranger - Pure Music (July 21st 2023) Album • Page 3

Rot Forever is very Modest Mouse I'm certain you'll enjoy it

also highly recommend Remembering the Rockets, it's head and shoulders their best imo

 

the openers for their show tomorrow are w i l d

 

On my third listen. Blush is really doing it for me

 

The horns!!

 

I don’t think you can fully grasp their transformation until you see these songs live. absolutely unreal performance.

 

tonight!

 

how did the set look? i really wanted to go but was weary about the idea of navigating the chaos of new york that day

 

it was a late one, they ended close to 2am. played a lot off the new album and the no light in heaven mixtape. there were some massive instrumental breakdowns, incredibly dance-y stuff.

 

Holy shit lol I would’ve been so wired off red Bull vodkas by that time. Usually don’t stay up past midnight on weekends

 

lol yeah. we knew it going in that it was going to be late - doors were 10:30 with 2 openers. partner and I just had a late dinner reservation and went to the show, kinda worked out well. the late show suited the album and vibe tbh.

I had many gin and tonics.

 

This sounded so cool. chose to see Oppenheimer at 10:30pm in IMAX 70mm but I kind of wish I went to this instead

Not as high on the album as Remember the Rockets but I'm slowly grabbing onto things more with each listen

 

have the best time, let me know what you think

 

they were SO GOOD you are right about the live show really showing off how they changed. she’s on fire goes off live. they were so fun to watch.

only stuff from pure music and no light in heaven. needing you was another favorite of the night. wish they were playing to much fuller rooms, maybe soon. but also the most annoying people on earth stood near us and held a constant conversation during the first half of their set. but they still ruled

 

Okay yeah, this album is nuts

 

when they busted out 'in hell' from no light in heaven, I had the biggest dumb smile on my face.

I love this band

anyone know if Tyler's still in this band? loved his contributions to TWIABP

 

really enjoyed this

 

Excited to read that

 

Me too

 

thank u all for reading

 

threw this on on a whim today and it’s pretty damn great. really awesome as a full-album listen, it all just flows so well. and I haven’t really kept up with them all that much since Rot Forever, so while I have heard songs here and there and knew they’d shifted their sound a lot, it still kinda took me aback a bit to take it all in ha. also gotta shout out the production, they really killed it.

 

i heard you write about culture...what's that mean? Is it sort of like everyyyyyyyyyythinggggg

Cannot get enough of how he sings that part. so good.

 

I have a couple gripes with this album but that opening track is absolutely magnificent. they know how to open a record

 

Was actually on my fifth or sixth listen and man the beginning of Fantasy really makes me feel things
