{"product_id":"strange-ranger-remembering-the-rockets-cd","title":"Strange Ranger - Remembering The Rockets (CD) | Mint Mint","description":"On its third full-length Remembering The Rockets, Strange Ranger continues to excel at\ntranslating the way intimacy can feel so overwhelmingly gigantic. With a dozen releases\nacross its 10 years as a band, the Philly-via-Portland-via-Montana group has traversed\ngenres, moods and textures while maintaining one important throughline: an exploration\nof closeness.\n\n2016’s double-LP Rot Forever was a 72-minute freakout that paired Built To Spill grandiosity\nwith early Modest Mouse intensity. On the 2017 follow-up Daymoon (Tiny Engines), Strange\nRanger hung up the distortion pedals and traded caustic yelps for Alex G-esque croons. It\nwas a synth-adorned, insular bedroom-pop record that floated rather than soared, and the\nband opted for lyrical impressionism over the hyper-specific outbursts of the debut.\n\nFarontman Isaac Eiger’s writing style reads like a loose assembly of quotes from conversations\nhe’s had with others spliced with his own, private introspections. He is a modern master\nof conveying the anxiety and uncertainty of growing older through a mixture of childhood\nnostalgia and interpersonal tidbits. There’s plenty of that on Remembering The Rockets , but\nafter all of these years of singing about Eiger’s own coming-of-age story, the album approaches\nthe quandary of whether he’ll ever be able to impart that process—through which he’s reaped so\nmuch artistic joy and curiosity—onto someone else.\n\nFor a topic as severe as ecological collapse affecting his own parental aspirations—as well\nas other melancholy ruminations on loneliness, the passing of time, and the complications\nof emotional intimacy—Strange Ranger still ended up making the lushest, smoothest, and\nmost pleasingly hypnotic album of its career.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD Digipak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Tiny Engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-TE-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Strange Ranger","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":45063951188083,"sku":"M5J4TC-F4EZ-FA","price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/strange-ranger-remembering-the-rockets-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
