SUMMARY:Ike Reilly and The Asssassination
DESCRIPTION:$13.00 no-fee tickets on sale now\nBreaking new ground within the exploration of pure-styled rock & roll\, Ike Reilly unveils an unusual ability as a songwriter\, venturing to assault the ruggedness of hard rock tones and forwarding crude and fierce lyrics within his songs. Born in the little town of Libertyville\, IL\, Reilly has followed a trail separate from most of today’s singer/songwriters — unlike other such artists\, Reilly prefers the harshness of intrepid rocking riffs\, sustained by ingenious melodies and exalting words. A wave of enthusiasm within the indie music scene was motivated by his debut album\, Salesmen & Racists\, which hit record stores in 2001. Nevertheless\, his path within the music world began years before in the late ’80s\, while he was still in Libertyville.\nDuring that time\, Reilly played with the Drovers\, a Celtic rock band active in Chicago’s club scene. After the Drovers\, he moved on and formed the Eisenhowers\, by then enjoying reasonable success on the local club circuit. Following the Eisenhowers\, Reilly assembled Community 9\, dedicating most of the band’s activity to classic themes of punk rock.\n\nAt the beginning of the ’90s\, Reilly decided to retire. During the years that followed\, the musician worked on all kinds of jobs\, from hotel doorman to cemetery worker\, only to return to music almost nine years later. Reilly’s chance showed up when Mike Simpson of the Dust Brothers listened to a demo tape containing some of his work. A few months later\, Reilly signed a contract with Republic Records\, and Salesmen & Racists\, his successful debut album\, hit record stores in July 2001\, with recording credits including Reilly himself\, Ed Tinley\, and Mickey Petralia\, previously responsible for the work of artists like Beck\, Eels\, and Luscious Jackson. Released in 2004\, Sparkle in the Finish traded in the surrealist hip-hop of Salesmen & Racists for pure rock & roll swagger\, while 2005’s Junkie Faithful adopted a dry-humored\, Nick Lowe/Chuck Prophet-inspired style of pop/rock. The soulful\, blues-tinged We Belong to the Staggering Evening arrived in 2007\, followed in 2008 by the two-disc set of odd and ends Poison the Hit Parade and the Dylan-esque Hard Luck Stories in 2009. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges

SUMMARY:Strange Ranger\, Florets
DESCRIPTION:On their third full-length ​Remembering The Rockets ​(out 7/26 via Tiny Engines)​\, Strange Ranger continue to excel at translating the way intimacy can feel so overwhelmingly gigantic. With a dozen releases across their 10 years as a band\, the Philly-via-Portland-via-Montana group\, currently featuring Isaac Eiger (guitars\, vocals)\, Fred Nixon (bass\, piano\, vocals)\, Nathan Tucker (drums)\, and Fiona Woodman (vocals)\, have traversed genres\, moods\, and textures while maintaining one important throughline: an exploration of closeness. \n“Trying to close the distance between yourself and another person and wondering how much can really be done about that gap\,” Eiger says. “​Sometimes you don’t want to be close with others but you feel guilty\, and sometimes you do but you can’t.” \nTheir 2016 double-LP ​Rot Forever​ (which they released under the name Sioux Falls)​ ​was a 72-minute freakout that paired Built To Spill grandiosity with early Modest Mouse intensity. Many of the songs were six-minute treks that pushed guitar/bass/drum indie-rock to its breaking point\, but the band was singing about crawling into bed and running back a lifetime’s worth of minor interactions. \nAfter putting that into the world\, Eiger and Nixon (the primary songwriters) felt they had gotten a rip-roaring rock record out of their systems\, so they hung up their distortion pedals and traded caustic yelps for Alex G-esque croons on 2017’s ​Daymoon​ (Tiny Engines). It was a synth-adorned\, insular bedroom-pop record that floated rather than soared\, and they opted for lyrical impressionism over the hyper-specific outbursts of ​Rot Forever​. \nOn both albums\, Eiger’s writing style reads like a loose assembly of quotes from conversations he’s had with others (some trivial\, some extremely confessional) spliced with his own\, private introspections. He asks a lot of questions in his music\, often with no traditional context or exposition\, which forces the listener to fill in the blanks between the visual details (“I thought you talked to the reporter / she had a polka dot recorder”) and the dialogue (“how was work\, are you okay? / how’s your mom\, is she the same?”) to either understand his story\, or project your own encounters onto his. \nEiger\, who writes the bulk of Strange Ranger’s lyrics\, 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 his 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. \n“​So much suffering and horror is coming if we don’t seriously restructure our entire society\, and I just really hope we get it together. I want to be a dad more than basically anything\, and it’s unclear if that’d be an OK decision to make\,” he says. \nFor 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 their careers. \n“​After making ​Daymoon\,​ I think Isaac and myself were both feeling pretty creatively exhausted with the rock band format\,” Nixon says. “We wanted the feel of the next record to put you in a trance.” \nOpener “Leona” is a celestial pop song with a springy bassline and a shimmering\, magical synth effect that dusts over its punchy outro groove. “Nothing Else To Think About” is a bobbing sunset soundtrack with a drum sample that puffs and clacks behind its ASMR-inducing bassline. For “Beneath The Lights\,” Eiger pulls out the drawly\, prickly croon of a ​Daymoon ​ballad like “Most Perfect Gold of the Century” and then contorts it with warbling\, Justin Vernon-esque auto-tune. Ambient interludes like “athens\, ga” and “‘02” are void of vocals and “traditional” rock elements altogether. \n“It was definitely a learning curve figuring out how to do some of the weirder stuff\,” Eiger says. “We’ve been using keyboards for a while now\, but before we made this record we got this old Japanese synthesizer [Korg M1] which has like a trillion sounds. So that was a totally different experience.” \n“We really didn’t know what we were doing and probably stumbled our way into a bunch of sounds we wouldn’t be able to recreate if we tried\,” Nixon adds. \nPortland\, OR producer Dylan M. Howe was an essential contributor in this regard. Most of the samples and electronic beats were designed with Howe’s assistance\, and he helped the band navigate the archaic software of the Korg M1—which was used for nearly every synth sound on the album. For many of the songs\, such as “Message To You”\, which Fiona Woodman sings the entirety of\, the only component the band had going into their home studio was the drum loop. From there\, they experimented with different arrangements and benefitted from Nathan Tucker’s versatile drumming abilities to build that song\, and many others\, outward. \nAlthough Eiger taps The Cure\, Oneohtrix Point Never\, and Yves Tumor as integral influences\, the main inspiration behind their foray into trip-hop drum loops and unearthly reverb was the 1996 song “Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand.” It’s a one-hit wonder from the alt-rock group Primitive Radio Gods that Eiger first heard in the van a few years back\, and he found it mesmerizingly beautiful. \n“​I think we’ve always been attracted to music that you can nod your head to\, and this time around I think we really tried to emphasize that\,” Eiger says. \nTracks like “Pete’s Hill\,” “Planes in Front of the Sun” and “Leona” lock into a similar breed of entrancing\, rhythmic bliss. And they hit with maximum impact every time because they’re tastefully offset by a cheeky alt-country burner like “Ranch Style Home\,” or a Lemonheads- esque cruiser like “Sunday.” But like all Strange Ranger albums\, the band saved the most emotionally devastating songs for its finale. \n“Living Free” and “Cold Hands Warm Heart” play like they’re in conversation with one another. The former is a synth-soaked reckoning with age (“all the years as blurry cars and trees / screaming right past me”) and purpose (“awkward angels in the snow / what if I just want a family?”). The latter is a sparse\, two-and-a-half-minute piano ballad where Eiger acknowledges tepid hope as the only way forward. “Flickers of a world to come / here but lovelier than this one / see it rippling in the river\,” he sings with a shaky intonation. \n“​The image of a rocket in the sky just feels very beautiful to me and full of possibility\,” Eiger says. “If you’re someone who wants to have kids and you decide not to\, that kinda feels like folding and just saying\, “yeah everything is fucked\, there is no future.” And why even live at that point? It sucks that ‘hope’ has—for good reason—become this cheesy\, lame idea. But if you’ve got no hope\, you’re completely fucked in a situation like this one.” \n
