POLARIZED (2017)

by Rancho Relaxo

supported by

Charlie Mayer Rancho Relaxo is one of the best bands that manages to gracefully cross the boundaries between shoegaze, psychedelic rock, with indie/dream pop sensibilities. This is one of my favorite bands, and I have to admit I incorporate the tone and atmosphere into my playing! Imitation is the greatest form of flattery! Favorite track: Life and Death.

about

“The 5 track EP Polarized opens with ‘Spooky Satisfaction at a Distance’, a percussion opening lends to fuzzy guitar swirls and floating vocals that hang gracefully within the music. ‘Augen Zu’ utilises the same vintage 1966 rhythm ace drum machine – the driving force of the EP – as a base before leading to melodic guitars which build in intensity as they continue. The use of a synth complements the vocal harmonies and creates a pleasant sway; this is easy listening shoegaze based psychedelia at its best. ‘Life & Death’ is highly versatile and distinctive sound paints as it breathes influences from past and present. In parts, it exudes shamanistic style energy and adds to the concept that Rancho Relaxo draw influence from a multitude of sources. ‘Tell Me Something’ is the lead track, with a catchy countenance and repetition that drives the track, whilst incorporating lashings of fuzz laden guitar melodies. ‘My Girl’ concludes the EP with its intense noise focus”

about

Rancho Relaxo Norway

Twangy guitars, tambourines, sitar and shoegaze vibes mixed with a proper dose of neo-psychedelia sprinkled with 12 strings, soaked in reverb, trippy melodies and some occasional fuzz freak-outs.Dig?
