High Flying from Dirt Bath by Psychological Rangers

"High Flying", the debut single, is a sun dappled psychedelic rocker that pulls a stressed protagonist out of the wind-up of adulthood by staring through the winsome looking glass of the past. The Rangers’ wit, humour and unshakable camaraderie is articulated with ‘60s psych-pop vocal stacks, ‘90s fuzzed out guitar and timeless lead bass. If rock’n’roll is dead then this irreverent trio has dug up the skeleton and strung it up as a marionette.

Lyrics

High Flying

Frantic, hectic, skeptic
Wrapped up in a ball

High flying (woo!)
Double riding
The moon taps in the sun
Eyes heavy Heart steady
Weekend somersaulting
Melting into

Sunday you say
Wish they’d last forever
Never gonna see the end of me
Trailing into darkness
I sunnyside
Uptown downtown we recovered
Spin round spun out
All the way to ecstasy

High flying (woo!)
Double riding
The moon taps in the sun
Eyes heavy Heart steady
Weekend somersaulting
Melting into

Ripped jeans
So it seems
Drifting Daisy lights the room
Talking ‘bout the trip lagoon
Floating cherry wine
Eye spy the bug
Chase a blind-spot warped
Mental mirror nearer clearer
And now you smile to be

High flying (woo!)
Double riding
The moon taps in the sun
Eyes heavy Heart steady
Weekend somersaulting
Melting into

Within shooting range
We don’t talk about it
I’m such a bad aim
We don’t talk about it
Does my shit sound lame?
We don’t talk about it

High flying!
High flying!

We don’t talk about it
Melting into

While toeing the line between heartwarming and flat out bizarre, Matthew Bailey, Dave Clark and Graeme Moffatt embody characters and spin narratives that favour an eclectic cast of underdogs. Bowing in submission to their collective id, they embark on absurdist journeys aiming to express universal truths but happily settling for a laugh.
