AP Track Review
State Park Ranger is an alt folk, ostensibly acoustic outfit from Asheville, North Carolina and Cowbaby is a folk duo, also from Asheville. They got together on the dreamy sad, sad dreamy The Will from State Park Ranger's "Sly Devil" EP. Cowbaby lend their ethereal girl vox and they offset the male vox beautifully. State Park Ranger is a bit of a mystery so, for now, I can not give a name to the singer but his voice feels passionate on theses song, pained and introspective. It is perfect for the alt folk genre. He is not a crooner, no, but his vocal presentation feels real and down to earth, telling his stories and as "sad pretty" The Will is, State Park Ranger gets down right dark in tracks like Dante and Big Red. You feel dark clouds, even death looming in the background. The result is heavy, moving, and haunting.
