"The Killing Moon", as covered by Dubious Ranger and Bhi Bhiman

Home

As part of our "Butchers Vol. 1" series of reinterpretations of some of our favorite songs, Dubious Ranger is proud to present, "The Killing Moon", a collaboration between the band and superb San Francisco singer/songwriter Bhi Bhiman. Originally written by Echo & The Bunnymen and featured in numerous films including Donnie Darko and Grosse Pointe Blank, the piece is an ominous crooner soaked in soft fear and subtle beauty. Special guest vocalist Bhi Bhiman leads the effort with a harrowing vocal that recalls Frank Sinatra desperately crying for help while sinking into quicksand and clouds, while Dubious's backing provides an assortment of guitars, kotos, strings, synths, and other dense layers that give the track a Smiths-meets-Eastern-Exoticism feel.

We think you'll like it. This is only the first installment in a string of public free cover releases, as Dubious Ranger gears up to release the full album "Butchers Vol. 1" for free to its fans this Fall. Join the fan club or email list to get in on the action and prove that you heard it first...

It is with a tear in our eye and a gryphon on our left shoulder that we announce that Dubious Ranger will be going on indefinite hiatus after this month. It's been a great run, and we are forever thankful for the support and love you've given us over the last three years.646-223

In celebration of the music we've made and the times we've had together, we will be hosting a big farewell show and party this Friday, January 22, at The Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco, with our friends As A People and Mass Fiction, along with some special guests!646-046

This will be a party to remember, and Dubious plans to leave its permanent mark on the SF indie scene with its best show ever.
