Hailing from New Mexico is Tone Ranger, and today sees them release their dreamy new single, "Dark Horse". The release also features Evelyn Drach, and I have to admit I was sort of blown away on the first listen.
Plenty of haunting and dreamy electronic tones.
The haunting electronic tones flow straight into your ears from the get-go, and as you start to process all of the sounds some super dreamy vocals come whispering in. I get big whiffs of Purity Ring and Grimes here but with more of a down-to-earth electronic sound that helps keep the listener grounded.
Bursts of what seems to be techno-infused keys come and go, with sweeping synths and a foot-stomping beat seemingly designed to engage the listener right until the very end. With a mighty guitar heard around the mid-way point I was all but confirmed as a fan, and if you like very alternative dream-pop mixed in with haunting tones then this is right up your street.
