RANGES have become one of the most prolific and versatile bands in the post-rock scene over the past decade. Since their formation in 2014, the band has released ten studio albums, two live records, and fourteen limited-edition cassettes, each showcasing their expansive musical range. Their prolific output is complemented by a vast collection of auxiliary merchandise and limited-edition ephemera, all of which contribute to the band's rich, ever-evolving legacy.
RANGES' live presence is equally remarkable, having toured across the United States and Europe, with standout performances at prestigious events like dunk!festival and Post. Festival. In 2024, they further expanded their international footprint with a performance at Offside Festival in China, further cementing their reputation as global ambassadors for the genre. Known for their immersive and emotionally charged shows, RANGES have earned a dedicated following and established themselves as a mainstay in the live music scene.
In addition to their album work and live shows, RANGES' music has found a home in various commercial and cinematic settings. With placements for brands such as Polaris, Vans, and Four Wheel Campers, as well as scoring multiple short films, the band’s versatility shines through as they create music to fit a wide range of visual and narrative contexts.

PRESS
"[The Ascensionist] is terrific. I went on a journey. I love when a post-rock album isn't generic and when you close your eyes you can feel a story happening and every time you listen the story is slightly different."
- MATT KESSLER / TOO MANY RECORDS / (Watch Full Review Here)
"Through it all, the quartet demonstrates great fluidity, the result of playing so many shows. The band has always been solid, but The Ascensionist is their most energetic and endearing to date. It’s as if they’ve already reached the summit as pilgrims and returned as guides."
- RICHARD ALLEN / A CLOSER LISTEN / (Read Full Review Here)
"The Ascensionist is right to the point. Well written songs, each with a strong focus on memorable melodies that burns right into the listener’s mind. It’s hard to pick favourite songs off The Ascensionist, the whole album is just put so well together and the flow of the album makes it a sin not to listen to it as a whole."
- SOREN HARTVIG / NEW MUSIC EXPLORER / (Read Full Review Here)
" ["And the People Cried out for a King"] is akin to This Will Destroy You’s “Moving on the Edges of Things” in terms of heralding a new sound. This next album is bound to be Ranges’ “Tunnel Blanket” and I look forward to this new album more earnestly than I ever have before."
- AARON EDWARDS / ARCTIC DRONES / (Read Full Review Here)
“The Gods Of The Copybook Headings” is still about lush soundscapes and calming melodies, and it inspires inward thought more than physical release, even in its most aggressive moments. It is music that feels designed for quiet moments alone – whether it be standing atop a peak looking down at the world after a long hike, or sitting on the back porch at twilight, Ranges excels at crafting soundtracks for contemplation."
- DAVID ZEIDLER / ARCTIC DRONES / (Read Full Review Here)
"I love ["The Gods of The Copybook Headings"]. I love Ranges. I’m afraid to call this the culmination of their talent, because I’m sure they will only get better."
- AARON EDWARDS / ECHOES AND DUST / (Read Full Review Here)
"Ranges is a band that pushes the conceptual envelope and expands on ideas across mediums."
- JOSEPH JAMES / WILL NOT FADE / (Read Full Review Here)
"Playing with a skill ahead of their years and a clear aptitude for song writing, their masterful efforts incomparably encapsulate the best qualities of ambient post rock."
