Ranger3 are an Anglo-Irish duo formed in 2005 in Camberwell, London. Named after the highly successful technology laden US Rocket whose mission was to land on the moon, but which actually missed the moon by 36,000 km and spiraled off into space, losing contact with the earth.

The English half, Jim Perkins, is a composer, arranger and producer who blends acoustic and electronic instruments and sounds. The Irish element, Ronan Burke has a fondness for electronica, krautrock and folk songs about romance and death.

’Old Simplicity’ presents an eclectic and intricate blend of electronics and folk instruments. From the mesmerizing, and eerie piano and vocals of ‘Satellite’ to the interwoven vocal couterpoint and glitchy beats of ‘Pendulum’. This album doffs its hat to traditional folk elements then chops them up and sews them back together to produce a beautiful cinematic Frankenstein.
