Blank Range Announce 2017 Tour Supporting The Wild Reeds/Vista Bent EP Out Now Via Thirty Tigers
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Last month, the Nashville-based five-piece Blank Range released their sophomore EP titled Vista Bent on Sturdy Girls Records distributed via Thirty Tigers. Next year, the band will hit the road with The Wild Reeds for a string of dates on the west coast and throughout the south. Find a full list of tour dates below and visit www.blankrangemusic.com for more details.

The Vista Bent EP was premiered in its entirety by Stereogum who said, "The four-track collection is a country-tinged drive down the highway with whiskey-soaked vocals and plenty of steel guitar. Blunted bell clangs and lively pop rock melodies of Vista Bent make for a happy compendium of '70s nostalgia, Nashville heartbreak, and subtle experimentation."

Stream the EP in its entirety via Spotify and purchase on iTunes and Bandcamp.

Glide Magazine reviewed the album and said, "The four song collection travels no distinct path or set of sonic moorings. Part cocaine country, part indie come garage rock, a few stoner, electronic brushstrokes and a heady, jazzier meld than most rock bands can muster."

Blank Range formed in Nashville in 2012 and released their debut EP Phase II in 2013. The band was met with great acclaim early on in their career, with Rolling Stone stating "It's inventive rock & roll free of prefixes and modifiers...an imaginary Lou Reed-Mac Demarco punk band, packed with so many clever, catchy riffs and rip-rolling percussion." Consequence of Sound said, "No idea how they captured the whole Mitch Ryder vibe, but their soulful Detroit scruff is uncanny, adding a little more fuzz to the base than, say, Merge darlings Reigning Sound...I haven't squeezed in a Big Star comparison yet, but the way Blank Range bounce off their scales is definitely akin to Alex Chilton's best work. Band rules."

Blank Range is comprised of Grant Gustafson (guitar & vocals), Jonathan Childers (guitar & vocals), Matt Novotny (drums & vocals), Will Brown (keyboards) and Taylor Zachry (bass & vocals). The band features a shared musical knowledge that draws from Gustafson's jazz improvisation during his time at North Central College in Chicago and Novotny's study of Latin rhythms during his music studies major.

Their shared study of music gives Blank Range a wide sonic palette to draw from, and therefore, the ability to craft more refined portraits of feeling. The execution of communicating those feelings in a live setting has been crafted, in part, by members' performances on tours playing with Jessica Lea Mayfield, Michael Nau (of Cotton Jones), Quiet Life, Jonny Fritz, and Rayland Baxter.
