Your darkest mystery. A cybernetic caustic shadow that oozes in your memory. What is the last whisper of a future world as it collapses? That whisper is Kill The Messenger, the debut single from Ramble, a cinematic return-to-form, of Montana heavyweight Hannibal Hayes.

Hayes pours a lifetime of anguish into a seething, rippling electronic hotbed of pulsing bass rhythms and alien melody, drawing immediate comparisons to the electronic scores of Vangelis, and the movie scores of Trent Reznor’s work with filmmaker David Fincher. Provocative, the purely instrumental track conjures flashing images behind the mind's eye of things that have happened, and have yet to happen. Like an implanted, unsettling, memory.

Kill The Messenger’s headbobbing sorrow is as much home in a movie theater to the title sequence of a psychological thriller, as it is to a long dark night of driving alone in an unfamiliar city. A track that demonstrates a staggering range, Kill The Messenger, is a captivating opening salvo that cements Ramble as a project to watch.
