{"product_id":"remembering-the-rockets-634457123281","title":"Remembering The Rockets","description":"On it's third full-length Remembering The Rockets, Strange Ranger continues to excel at translating the way intimacy can feel so overwhelmingly gigantic. With a dozen releases across it's 10 years as a band, the Philly-via-Portland-via-Montana group has traversed genres, moods and textures while maintaining one important throughline: an exploration of closeness.  2016's double-LP Rot Forever was a 72-minute freakout that paired Built To Spill grandiosity with early Modest Mouse intensity. On the 2017 follow-up Daymoon (Tiny Engines), Strange Ranger hung up the distortion pedals and traded caustic yelps for Alex G-esque croons. It was a synth-adorned, insular bedroom-pop record that floated rather than soared, and the band opted for lyrical impressionism over the hyper-specific outbursts of the debut.  Farontman Isaac Eiger's writing style reads like a loose assembly of quotes from conversations he's had with others spliced with his own, private introspections. He is a modern master of conveying the anxiety and uncertainty of growing older through a mixture of childhood nostalgia and interpersonal tidbits. There's plenty of that on Remembering The Rockets, but after all of these years of singing about Eiger's own coming-of-age story, the album approaches the quandary of whether he'll ever be able to impart that process-through which he's reaped so much artistic joy and curiosity-onto someone else.  For a topic as severe as ecological collapse affecting his own parental aspirations-as well as other melancholy ruminations on loneliness, the passing of time, and the complications of emotional intimacy-Strange Ranger still ended up making the lushest, smoothest, and most pleasingly hypnotic album of it's career.","brand":"Tiny Engines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46384202940499,"sku":"2568975X","price":27.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4220024_3dfe9ece-6e80-442d-9e93-9a89170328b4.jpg?v=1790261472","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/remembering-the-rockets-634457123281","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
