Tone Ranger (moniker for composer / producer Alex Simon), whose sonic aesthetic is defined and qualified by his love for the desert and its culture. There’s a definite vastness in the backdrop which is pieced together or detailed with folksy instrumentals, contemplative rhythms, and light vocal dalliance. The tones are muted but luminous, a plane that you can experience both staticity and dynamism simultaneously. His latest release is ‘Cuentito’ in collaboration with Spanish singer-songwriter and artist, ‘Vecinoz’. 

Cuentito in Spanish means story or tale, mostly indicating folk or fairy tales. The song is light and free with its grooves forming as softly as a breeze. It is in the constant state of being floated away, like clouds, like the sand in the desert. There are many Spanish instrumental accents, so plush and playful, dynamic and full of movement. And this is so gracefully carried and articulated by Vecinoz’s vocals. It’s one of those vocals that is rosy to the ear, full of romance, sentiments, and so beautifully feminine. As you listen, it feels like you’re part of that softness and the vastness. And it’s a truly special feeling. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
