Strange Ranger (fka Sioux Falls) is an Indie-Rock/Post-Punk band originally from Montana and now based in Portland, Oregon. Formed by Isaac Eiger and Fred Nixon in 2009 during their high school years, the duo's shared passion for early Modest Mouse brought them together. Seeking a more vibrant music scene, they relocated to Portland where they faced challenges before achieving success with their debut album "Rot Forever" under the name Sioux Falls in 2016. This breakthrough earned them recognition as one of Consequence of Sound's 'Top 50 Albums of 2016.' Renaming themselves Strange Ranger, they released the EP "Sunbeams Through Your Head," which was praised by Stereogum as one of "Great EPs from 2016." Their impressive releases led Stereogum to dub Strange Ranger as one of "2016's Best New Bands."

Throughout the last decade, Strange Ranger have been crafting seamless indie music that feels both already classic and precisely of its time. From Daymoon's strains of the Microphones by way of the Pacific Northwest-era indie scene to the dark elation and Cure-reminiscent stylings of Remembering the Rockets they’ve become one of the rare standouts of a crop of bands that have managed to grow up with us.

More than just a stopgap along that progression, the new mixtape entitled No Light In Heaven holds some of the band’s most experimental and ambitious work yet. Stitched together through a series of sessions at both a house in rural NY and Strange Ranger’s home studios in both Philadelphia and NYC (where Eiger and Woodman moved in 2021], the mixtape possesses something both abstract and astute; the product of a band in transition and a group of people making something effortlessly transcendental out of their new surroundings. Heralded as “unpredictable and expansive, a thrilling document of a band with an ever-changing muse,” with “songs that are packed with hooks and an abundance of feeling” (Stereogum). This outpouring of evocative emotion makes the band’s more traditional song structures read like a new breed of pop music in its purest form. From “Needing You”’s effervescent euphoria to string-laden album closer “It’s You,” the record seamlessly fuses together a multitude of genres, where the industrial punch of “In Hell” sits alongside the chopped up vocals and melodic keys of “Get Right Up to the Mic.”

No Light in Heaven marks the beginning of a bold new era for the band &amp; the groups first release with Fire Talk.
