In this edition of LITM Pop Picks, we have Tone Ranger and more!
Tone Ranger - “Dark Horse”
Tone Ranger is the musical alias of Alex Simon, a New Mexico-based composer and producer who creates immersive sounds, with influences from far and wide — and on his latest single, “Dark Horse”, he beautifully brings together elements of ambient, progressive house music into a track that’s sure to keep you moving from start to finish. With lush vocal harmonies that paint a vivid picture right before your eyes, the layers of guitars and basses build steadily upon a foundation of synths and pads, all held together by a steady house beat that’s sure to keep things ticking along quite smoothly — and the result is rather rewarding, I must say. Take a listen to the track here!
Bloom Effect - “Presente”
Bloom Effect crafts a rich, introspective sound that merges elements of shoegaze, dream-pop, and post-punk; with a dreamy, ethereal sound, they manage to endlessly charm; and on their latest single, “Presente”, they paint a vast, wide canvas that’s dotted with the unmistakable charm of shoegaze music. Be it the gritty guitars in the background or the angelic melodies, the evolution of the sounds in this track is something to write home about indeed. With a solid mix that keeps things beautifully controlled yet lets each instrument breathe fully, this is a track that charms. Check out the track here!
