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

you’re gonna have to work
you’re gonna wanna eat something
you’re gonna look out the window
and wish the weather would change

you’re gonna go work every day, baby
you’re gonna wanna be someone
you wanna be a statue you better have legs
you wanna be at the top, girl?
don’t let me stand in your way

but there are a lot of places between New York and LA
millions of faces, miles away

release.

it’s gonna be okay
you’re gonna go get a drink with your friends
but for some reason on Sunday
you won’t have much to say
the people behind you will wait
you’ll get a cup of tea
and day dream all day
of the stacks on your desk, blowing away
of your sisters in the sandbox
and you wanna go play

and there are a lot of places between New York and LA
millions of faces, miles away

yeah, there are a lot of places between LAX and LGA
millions of faces, miles away.

release, release, release.
