INFO

Reaching the 10-year mark for any endeavor is a notable achievement and one that Ranges can now add to its growing list of accomplishments. The Montana-based post-rock band has been prolific in its creative output over the past decade, exceeding the scope of each previous album both in terms of musical composition and art direction. The band’s eleventh release ’33’ is no exception.

The new double-LP spans the auditory spectrum of the usual Ranges sonic palette, from delicate and nuanced to crushingly dense, but also indulges effortlessly in the inclusion of more immersive sound samples and cinematic sound design, leading to a much more immersive experience that draws as equally on the minimalist tones and atmospheres as it does on the riffs and melodic hooks familiar to the band’s previous discography.

In tandem with the musical opulence of '33,' Ranges presents an equally stunning visual narrative. Being a band where the concept always comes first, each and every aspect of the music and art is imbued with the symbolism of the number 33 and the dualistic aspects of Order and Chaos which it represents. This theme is expressed through several different visual motifs throughout the album artwork and accompanying merchandise.

As with any Ranges album, visual accompaniment is an organic part of the recording process, and '33' is no exception, and if anything takes the band's creative to unparalleled new heights. Playing on a near constant reference to the number 33 throughout the band’s lifespan, this album hammers it home to deal directly with the powerful symbolism of this number as well as the concept of duality as a whole as articulated through several intricate layers of symbolism within the album artwork.
