“Rain So Hard” is the new single from Strange Ranger available digitally on Fire Talk. Previously heralded by NPR, Stereogum, Vice, Uproxx & more, the band’s trajectory “imagines a life after indie rock” (Pitchfork). Downtempo synth eloquently buoys the dual voices of Eiger & Woodman, who together lend a melancholic hymn of both hope and desolation that expands slowly into wistful transcendence.
lyrics
Like a dropped call
Don’t you know it’s gone for you
Like a missed name
Don’t you know it’s lost for you
Solid as the sea
Don’t know what could cleave through me
Any day there’ll be no more stars
And it rains hard on the dark cars
How do I get out of this movie now?
Light don’t bleach my eyes
Life don’t leave me blind
I heard you write about culture
What’s that mean?
Is it sort of like everything?
Now everything just runs backwards
And forwards all the time
How do I get out of this movie now?
