Track Of The Day  INDIGO RANCH Indigo Ranch is the music project of Philadelphia-based duo Emily Eichelberger (Vocals, Guitar, Programming) and John Pyle (Bass, Programming), who debuted in 2021 with a self-released cassette EP “Love Or Perish”, which went rather unnoticed, immersed in a tape noise-saturated fusion of mid-tempo Industrial Post-punk and Dream Pop, seemingly influenced by the likes of Coldreams, Cocteau Twins, Jesus & Mary Chain, and Black Tambourine. Recorded by the band in their studio in 2022, mixed with Jeff Zeigler and mastered by Mikey Young, Indigo Ranch‘s forthc ..read more

We describe the band’s sound, hopefully properly, “a stripped-down, spiky and sharp guitar-driven Post-punk sound, in the 80s NDW tradition of X-Mal Deutschland and Abwärts, with the same powerful expressive urgency and punk attitude, albeit without the gothic drama of the former” As we were able to ascertain in the previous song, “Grey”, from th ..read more
