Strange Ranger (fka Sioux Falls) is an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon (via Bozeman, Montana).

And by indie rock, I mean whatever indie rock used to mean back in, say, 1997, when everything was the best -- especially in the Pacific Northwest.

Think carefully constructed songs that slowly swirl towards something cool and congratulations you're now thinking of your new favorite band.

Strange Ranger's second full-length album Daymoon (here's the first) was recently released by Tiny Engines (one of the best independent record labels going in the opinion of this music blob) and you should listen to it ASAP below if you like listening to good albums and/or indie rock.

Take your time with this band.

They'll grow on you.
