Ride is a renowned English rock band that played a significant role in the shoegaze movement of the early 1990s, with albums like Nowhere and Going Blank Again being considered classics in the genre. Their sound is often likened to bands such as My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive. After a hiatus, the band reunited in 2014 and has since released well-received albums like Weather Diaries (2017) and This Is Not a Safe Place (2019).
Ride announces their seventh studio album, Interplay, set to release on March 29th. The album builds on their 90s shoegaze roots with frenzied guitar attacks and dreamy melodic hooks, drawing inspiration from 80s pop icons like Tears For Fears. Led by guitarist/vocalists Andy Bell and Mark Gardener, Ride's latest work promises a nostalgic yet forward-thinking musical experience akin to bands such as Tame Impala and Slowdive.
Ride's upcoming album 'This Is Not A Safe Place' is set to release on August 16th. Their latest single "Future Love" showcases their signature shoegaze sound with influences from The Fall and Sonic Youth. Produced by Erol Alkan and mixed by Alan Moulder, the album promises a rejuvenated and ambitious blend of melodic psychedelia and Transatlantic harmonies.
