about

Recorded in Denver, Colorado during the month of January, 2015, Range Songs is the debut full-length album by Mickey Theis. This collection of eleven lushly arranged originals run the emotional gamut from playful to sorrowful, fiery to quietly searching.

​Folk and Americana listeners will enjoy the more familiar song structures of "Orphan" and “Freedom,” while the more confessional "Places" and "Elsewhere" navigate darker, more elaborate musical terrain. Other tracks, like "True Love" and “Silent Son” demonstrate Theis’ craft as a budding producer, as he skillfully weaves sparse, Folk melodies into Springsteen-like, anthemic Rock. These more traditional tracks support a compelling counterpoint in songs like the haunting Folk number, “O Haniel” or Nilsson-esque Country lament, “Are You Coming out Tonight?"

​Range Songs marks the first full-length release on Theis’ label, Infinite Gesture Records.

lyrics

Is it nice out where you are?
Do the others treat you kind?
On that distant shore,
Is there something altogether more
Than we expected to find?
Do you stretch in the morning,
Turn the stove on, take your coffee
With some sugar on the side?
And are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Is it strange up in the light
Where the stars are burning bright?
On the planet where you are
Are their stars? Are their rainbows
Every once in awhile?
Do you feel things coming on?
Do your feelings linger on?
Or do you just feel alright?
And are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Can you hear this silly song
On the channel that you’re on?
Are you there? Is there something wrong?
Do you feel alright? Do you feel at all?
Do you miss anyone?
Is there some place you can go
When the cosmos crushes everything
You think you have inside?
And are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
Are you coming out tonight?
